Department of Psychology and Neuroscience

About

We are one of the largest undergraduate majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, with over 2,490 undergraduate majors and 593 undergraduate minors in Fall 2022. Over 200 undergraduate students are involved in research with faculty. We are committed to ensuring our undergraduate majors have transformative academic experiences at Carolina. 99% of our students engage in a research-intensive psychology course, 55% have enrolled in a First-Year Seminar course to make the best transition possible to college life, 43% engage in a service-learning course to extend their learning beyond the classroom and make an impact on the local community, and 25% participate in a study abroad experience to enrich their knowledge and understanding. We want our students to have an academic experience that challenges them to connect their classroom learning with their citizenship in a global economy.
