The mission of the Department of Psychology at UW-Stout is to serve the university, community, state, and profession with quality education, scholarship, and professional service in basic and applied psychology. The Department of Psychology strives to sustain a community of student and faculty scholars that fosters professional and personal growth. These goals are achieved through science-based courses and programs focused on applications of psychological theories and scientific methods to individual, social, and organizational challenges. The courses and programs emphasize respect for diversity of people and ideas, ethical responsibility, effective speaking, writing, listening, critical thinking, and experiential applications.
Our Work
The Department of Psychology at UW-Stout offers academic degree programs and a variety of courses serving other academic degrees. Additionally, our students, faculty, and staff work together on a wide range of independent research and service both on and off campus.
Since 1966, B.A. in Psychology degrees have been conferred at UW-Stout. Starting in 2011, students started enrolling in the revised B.S. in Psychology. The student learning outcomes for both 120-credit programs are based on guidelines from the American Psychological Association.
The B.S. in Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary program that features courses from Biology, Mathematics and Computer Science, Philosophy, and Psychology. This program, the first of its kind in Wisconsin. prepares graduates to work in areas like human factors engineering, human/computer interaction, artificial intelligence design, market research analysis, neurological testing and product design, robotics, and web development.
The M.S. in Applied Psychology features three concentrations, with graduates of each enjoying a wide range of exciting careers.
The Department of Psychology also offers minors in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, Human Resource Management, and Workplace Diversity. The department's certificate programs include Evaluation Studies, Human Resource Management, and Workplace Diversity.
