Psychological Sciences

Why do people think, feel, and act the way they do? Psychology, the science of mental processes and behavior, seeks to answer these fundamental questions. At William & Mary, we approach psychology as both a natural and social science, integrating philosophy, principles and research methods to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Your support plays a vital role in sustaining our tradition of excellence by providing undergraduate students with essential financial resources for their Honors and Independent Research projects. Contributions help fund critical needs such as test materials, lab supplies, and research equipment. Currently, we are seeking donations to enhance student learning through a summer hands-on research program that will specifically target transfer and First-generation, low-income students. Donations also assist with the acquisition of teaching-related materials, cash-matches for student travel awards and small research grants.

Every contribution, no matter the size, directly impacts the success of our students and the advancement of psychological research at W&M.
