Introducing the incoming editor of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Dr. Colin Wayne Leach.
Welcome to Barnard Psychology
Our program offers a rigorous exposition of the study of the mind in action. In classroom courses, in instructional laboratories, and in research conducted with the faculty, students explore intellectual perspectives and empirical methods expressed across the discipline of Psychology. The Department also connects our students to many forums in the College and at Columbia University for discussion and refinement of scientific work.
