Psychology Testing Facility

The faculty of the Psychology Department at Cleveland State University consists of many outstanding scholars, several of which are nationally and internationally recognized experts in a variety of areas.  

The Department has an honors program for highly qualified students, and has five different areas of specialization in which one can obtain a Master of Arts degree. A doctoral program in Adult Development and Aging developed in collaboration with the University of Akron has recently been approved by the Ohio Board of Regents, and we will begin accepting students into the program for the Fall 2008 academic year.

The Department is one of the few at CSU that offers a major that can be obtained by taking all coursework in psychology in the evening. We invite you to browse our website to see why Psychology is one of the most popular majors, as well as learn about the variety of opportunities for graduate study in psychology at Cleveland State University.
