“As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, the vast majority of my time is spent conducting research. The training I received at UB, both in formal coursework and in applied experience, provided the foundation I needed to be successful at Penn. I had the opportunity to design and run experiments, collaborate among teams of researchers, assist with a clinical trial from the very beginning through the analysis phase, build a psychophysiology lab, write grants and manuscripts, and mentor undergraduates. If you’re looking for a program that will provide the opportunity to interact with faculty who are leaders in their fields and encourage you to grow into an independent clinical researcher, all in a structured yet supportive environment, then UB is for you." – Rebecca Ashare

“As a psychology major at UB, I took advantage of the many opportunities and courses available. I became a member of Psi Chi—The International Honors Society, a teaching assistant for an introductory psychology course, a research assistant for a psychology lab, and a tutor for various courses. The Department of Psychology staff and my fellow psychology majors created a learning environment that was both enriching and supportive. With the encouragement of various professors and advisers, I was able to challenge myself and dream big.”  – Neaha Aamir
