Psychology Department
FSU's Psychology Department has served as an education and research institution in the university for more than 100 years and has the distinction of being the first psychological laboratory in the state of Florida. Founded in 1902, the program has since grown from two courses taught by only a couple faculty members to one which offers over one hundred courses each semester and boasts nearly seventy faculty members. In 1952 FSU began offering a doctoral degree in Psychology with the first PhD going to a student the next year. The department was historically housed in Francis Eppes Hall(formerly College Hall) and the Kellog Building. In 2008 the department moved into the new Psychology Building located on the western edge of campus.
A number of the faculty have been recognized for achievements in their field at university and the national level. Many of the faculty have written books on their subjects of interest or have written chapters for books. The department is the center of research in many areas and funding through state and federal grants reaches upwards of $6,000,000 annually. The PhD program in Clinical Psychology is ranked 32nd by the US News and World Report and the department itself is ranked 50th.
