The Department of Psychological Science has been renamed as the Department of Psychology.
The new name is meant to better reflect the broad range of research and training specializations within the department, and will create a more inclusive intellectual home for current and future faculty, students and alumni.
“Renaming the department to the Department of Psychology at UC Irvine is a strategic move that will enhance student recruitment, align UCI with peer institutions, strengthen academic and professional identity, and improve the public recognition of our stellar department and faculty,” says Nicholas Scurich, professor and chair of psychology.
The name change took effect July 1.
