Research at Derner School of Psychology
Research is central to Derner鈥檚 identity as an empirically informed school of psychology.
It has been that way since the Gordon F. Derner School of Psychology was founded in 1972 as the first university-based school of psychology in the United States. Our faculty has long distinguished itself for its contributions to the field as well as for its commitment to inspiring students and preparing them to join the ranks of researchers.
