Welcome from the Department Head

Greetings from the Department of Psychology and Counseling at Tarleton State University. As Department Head, I am pleased to welcome you to our website.

The purpose of this site is to allow you to investigate our department so as to learn about our faculty, our students, and our staff. Some of you may be interested in the graduate and undergraduate programs offered by our department, while others may be interested in the research activities of our faculty.

The department is a community of scholars with expertise ranging from school and professional counseling to applied psychology and experimental research.  We offer courses at the main campus in Stephenville, online, and at satellite locations in Fort Worth, Weatherford, and Waco.
