The award-winning psychology faculty at Cal State Monterey Bay have a vast range of expertise, from research labs to clinical practice. 

Among their many research interests, you’ll find human memory, creativity, cognition, aging, relationships, behavioral neuroscience, psychotherapy, kindergarten readiness and educational leadership. They publish in top scholarly journals and present their work at academic conferences — and often involve CSUMB students in their research.
