We are part of the College of Psychology that offers bachelor’s degrees in psychology and behavioral neuroscience and graduate programs in clinical psychology, school psychology, counseling, experimental psychology, forensic psychology and general psychology.

To that end, we endeavor to provide an atmosphere and curriculum appropriate to the mandates of a culturally diverse society. With an eclectic mix of students, and faculty, and a wide range of curriculum and practicum experiences we enrich the understanding of educational and psychological principles and their applications. I am especially proud of our first-rate faculty, many of whom are nationally and internationally known. Interacting with your professors who have developed their professional identity and continue to expand their expertise in assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and research will provide the milieu for you to be mentored into the professional world. We provide a wide range of training, throughout the programs, in various theoretical perspectives that link directly to the delivery of clinical and school psychology interventions. Our concentrations and tracks provide the prospect to gain specific expertise in a wide range of specialty areas. In addition, there are numerous opportunities available outside of your classroom, through active participation in the many student groups in the department and university, and community-based projects. I encourage you to explore the wide range of experiences that are available to you while enrolled in your program. Get to know your classmates who will become an integral part of your journey at NSU and in many instances will become part of your professional network after graduation. With all the experiences that will come your way in the next few years, I urge you to discover and develop your passion in pursuing
