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.  

Psychological Science is an excellent choice as a stand-alone major, second major, or minor. Whether a student’s interests are in psychology or a combination of psychology and another discipline (like computer science, biology, or robotics), the faculty helps make those connections so students have a fulfilling academic path.

The program’s graduates go on to careers in their area of interest such as health care, law, marketing, human resources, project management, engineering, or nonprofit work. Graduates also pursue advanced degrees in psychology, education, social work, behavioral genetics, health care, and law.
