The Stony Brook University Department of Psychology was founded in 1960 and is one of Stony Brook's largest and strongest departments, having awarded more than 800 Ph.D. degrees since its inception.

The Department offers training in Biopsychology, Clinical Psychology, Cognitive/Experimental Psychology, and Social & Health Psychology. One of our great strengths, however, is our high degree of collaboration that transcends traditional academic boundaries and the numerous cross-cutting themes of study available as part of our graduate training.
