Psychology students have a number of unique opportunities that enhance their academic experience, including:
The department's facilities include modern research laboratories in clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and behavioral neuroscience. All labs are equipped with computers to assist students with their work in the laboratory and the classroom.
In the summer of 1997, the Psychology Department moved to the DePaul Science Building. Renovations to DePaul Hall provided laboratory facilities in clinical, cognitive, and developmental psychology in addition to the department's existing Biopsychology Laboratory. These renovations benefit our students by providing additional research opportunities and learning experiences.
Dr Peter Butera, chairperson and biopsychologist, oversees
the workings of the department's biopsychology laboratory,
home of federally funded research on the hormonal control
of ingestive behavior and sex differences in satiety.
The department's clinical psychology laboratory complex is home to the research of Dr. Timothy M. Osberg. Dr. Osberg's research currently focuses on the use of the MMPI-2 in correctional samples and a comparison of the MMPI-A and MMPI-2 profiles of late adolescents. 
The clinical psych lab complex also provides office space for student
research assistants and students conducting senior honors thesis
research. The complex's group room is the site of weekly seminar
meetings for students participating in the practicum program. They are
placed in various community agencies and meet to discuss their
experiences with Dr. Osberg. The clinical psychology research group,
comprised of students with interests in clincal research, also meets here weekly.
In one of the small testing rooms, Jaime,
Katie, and Melisa set up the computer for the eyewitness
study.
