Greetings!
Welcome to the website for the Department of Psychology at the University of West Florida. I hope you will find these pages valuable and interesting.
This is an exciting time in the department. We are conducting extensive strategic planning using data and information from within and outside the department to help us formulate a vision and establish goals for our future. We will post our goals and objectives on the website in the near future so you know where we are heading as a distinguished department of psychology!
A significant accomplishment in 2007-2008 was the establishment of the University’s Center for Applied Psychology (CAP). This center is a consulting group affiliated with the department, and was formed to serve as a resource for the community to enhance human performance and quality of lives. The professors engage students in their projects to provide hands-on experiences. Be sure to check the CAP web pages.
Our undergraduate and graduate degree programs provide a solid foundation in all aspects of psychology, and also prepare students to think critically, manage projects, effectively communicate, and enhance their understanding of integrity and values. Check out the highlights of our graduate students. The professors are dedicated teachers who are passionate about applied psychological science. Be sure to look at the faculty web pages.
Through the study of psychology as a science, the faculty and students evaluate and understand behaviors and experiences, and then apply this knowledge in a variety of settings to solve problems. In doing so, the education and development of each individual is our primary concern!
Thanks for taking the time to check our website. If I can be of any assistance, don’t hesitate to contact me at LKoppes@uwf.edu.
Best wishes!
Laura L. Koppes, Ph.D
