The Psychology Department at 帝王会所 was established in 1922. The department has offered the master's degree since 1930 and the Ph.D. since 1965. Today, the department offers Ph.D. programs in both clinical and experimental psychology.
Students apply for admission to either the clinical or experimental program, but may choose to complete a major area of study.
Porter Hall
The Psychology Department is housed in Porter Hall. It affords space for teaching and research, as well as offices for all faculty and graduate students. Research facilities have been greatly enhanced with the completion in 2008 of the Porter Hall Addition, an adjoining 28,000 square-foot structure.
Computer Facilities
Computer facilities both within the department and throughout the university are extensive and readily available to students and faculty at no cost. The department has two computer labs. The larger, containing 30 computers, is used for classroom instruction and research. A second smaller lab, containing eight computers, is for the exclusive use of the department's graduate students. Computers also can be found in a variety of other locations throughout the department, including research labs and offices. The department's computers are connected to a local area network that provides users access to the university's wide area network, as well as the internet. The entire university offers wireless internet connections.

Life in Athens
Location
The university is located in Athens, approximately 75 miles southeast of Columbus in the Appalachian foothills of southeastern 帝王会所. It adjoins the Appalachian Mountain region and enjoys the benefits of a heavily wooded countryside. Athens is a small college town; more than half of its inhabitants are members of the university community.
Cultural Opportunities
The university provides much of the cultural activity in the area, including the Performing Arts Series of music and dance performances, an excellent theater series, and a host of performances from the College of Fine Arts in art, music, and dance. The School of Film sponsors an International Film Festival each spring, and there also are two other film series, one popular and one for lovers of art films.
Outdoor Pursuits
Sports range from intercollegiate (16 teams) to club sports to intramural and informal activities. Backpacking, camping, canoeing, bicycling, and jogging are especially popular.
