We also house over 400 students minoring in Psychology. The Department is staffed by 24 full-time faculty in the four core area groups of Clinical, Developmental, Experimental and Social Psychology.

We are joined by over 40 professionals from the community, teaching as part of our talented affiliate faculty team. Together we provide over 350 classes per year in a variety of on-campus, hybrid, and online course formats. For over forty years we have provided an affordable, comprehensive program in psychology, educating future professionals in Colorado, the US, and the larger world.

In addition, our students have opportunities to join a wide range of active clubs including the Psi Chi Honors Society and the Human Development Club. The Department's Research Club is one of the most active on campus, with annual peer-reviewed presentations at the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association. We also have an active Journal Club, which explores cutting-edge research and the newly formed Clinical Club for those interested in learning more about psychology's largest employment field.
