Frances L. Hiatt School of Psychology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clark University has trained and hosted some of the world\u2019s most notable psychologists since G. Stanley Hall, Clark\u2019s first president, established the discipline here in the late 1800s. Today, undergraduate and doctoral students work with faculty to examine human behavior through research and experiential learning opportunities in order to address urgent social issues, such as mental health, educational inequity, and violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
