The Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona is strongly committed to supporting a community of scholars not limited by age, socioeconomic background, race/ethnicity, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, language, disabilities, veteran or first-generation student status or the intersection of these historically marginalized identities. We strive to foster a respectful and affirming climate in which all students, staff, and faculty are valued and feel inspired to achieve their full potential. 

Consistent with the broader University of Arizona commitment, the Department of Psychology seeks to facilitate understanding and valuing of individuals and cultures through its education, training, and research endeavors. The University of Arizona is a proud Hispanic-Serving Institution and American Indian and Alaska Native-Serving Institution, and the Department of Psychology is committed to attracting, admitting, supporting and educating students from the broad spectrum of historically marginalized backgrounds without limitations. 

Department efforts to promote a safe and thriving workplace include community engagement activities to uplift individuals’ identities and foster a climate of belonging, identifying information and resources to facilitate our students’ and colleagues’ success, advocating for increased representation and continued excellence in health disparities research, cross-culturalism and identity-based research, and promoting teaching excellence through inclusive practice, scholarship and a broad set of course offerings.

As a student, staff member, or scholar in our department, you are deeply valued in the Department of Psychology. 

We welcome ALL Wildcats!
