Psychology

Our world-class faculty teach courses on a range of psychology topics, including consumer behavior, sports psychology, sensation and perception, and essential research methods.

You’ll work alongside expert faculty members in small classes to gain the foundation for performing real research. Psychology students at Fordham have the opportunity to work as part of several faculty-run research labs that do original work in fields like biological cognition, infant and child development, and connections between sleep and well-being.

You’ll receive one-on-one mentorship from top faculty in the field and hone your skills at places like New York Hospital, Bronx Psychiatric Center, Bronx Children’s Center, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Our psychology majors go on to win prestigious fellowships, attend graduate school, where they conduct meaningful research, and work in the field. Recent alumni have held a wide range of careers in fields including clinical psychology, special education, human resources, marketing, and much more.

At Fordham, you’ll use AI as a tool to enhance your learning. Our program will equip you with the skills to navigate the ever-changing landscape of AI in the workforce. As a psychology major, you’ll be able to use AI to advance your own research: analyzing large sets of data, for example, and assisting in behavioral pattern recognition.

You’ll also be able to earn credentials and paid micro-internships through IBM SkillsBuild’s Getting Started with AI course. All Fordham students and graduates have access to AI training through RamConnect, the University’s alumni and experiential learning platform.

Above all, you’ll learn skills that can’t be replaced by AI, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and experimentation.
