Adelphi has long been recognized as a pioneer in the study of psychology. In 1972, the Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies became the nation's first university-based professional school of psychology. Today Derner is internationally recognized for its dedication to scholarship and its commitment to training professionals to meet the needs of a society in transition.
Through a combination of academic studies and clinical practice, students gain an understanding of human behavior and learn skills that enable them to pursue a wide range of careers. Derner offers undergraduate, master's, doctoral, postgraduate, and respecialization programs. Supported by a dedicated faculty, these programs integrate research, theory, and practice.
Students have many opportunities to augment their studies and hone their skills. Scholars from around the world participate in the annual Lindemann Lecture in Human Development. Through Adelphi's partnerships with some of the leading mental health facilities in the country, students get supervised clinical training. Membership in student community organizations and honor societies encourages collaboration and camaraderie.
Derner is actively engaged in serving the needs of the community. Through the Center for Psychological Services and the Postgraduate Pscychotherapy Center, Derner provides mental health care programs for children, adolescents, and adults.
