Psychology

Students in WPI’s Psychological Science program examine the mind from various viewpoints to understand how people think and behave in different situations. Students learn about and engage in scientific research in classrooms and with faculty mentors in their research laboratories. The program’s interdisciplinary and global approach allows students to work closely with each other and faculty in a collaborative and encouraging atmosphere.
