The Department Psychology & Neuroscience (P&N)
One of the largest and most vibrant units on the Duke campus. With 38 primary faculty and over 50 allied and secondary faculty members, P&N graduates nearly 200 undergraduate psychology majors every year and plays a leading role in the undergraduate major in neuroscience. It grants about a dozen doctoral degrees each year, placing its students in top academic positions, in clinical practice, business and industry, and on the faculty at some of the finest institutions in the country. Recent research by our faculty has gained considerable national recognition – from basic science findings on behavior and brain function, to applications for educational and health policy – consistent with Duke’s primary goal of using scholarship to shape society.
