Located between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the south and the Appalachians to the north in the scenic New River Valley, Radford University has approximately 9,500 undergraduate and graduate students. It is a growing, congenial community with exceptional outdoor opportunities. As a student-focused institution, Radford’s commitment to engagement provides a wide range of opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration among and between faculty and students both in and outside the classroom, as well as through online and hybrid instruction.
As the largest college at Radford University and a major contributor to the liberal arts core, the College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences (CHBS) is central to the mission of the university. Faculty members strive to develop a range of intellectual skills and habits of mind in their students that will serve them well throughout their personal, academic and professional lives as continuous learners and scholar-citizens. Students regularly engage with faculty in experiential learning activities, professional collaborations, and internships that provide opportunities to serve communities while preparing for careers. Faculty members’ scholarly and creative activity is viewed as a vital corollary to the instructional mission of the institution, with faculty encouraged to co-author research with undergraduate and graduate students.
CHBS is housed in a newly constructed 145,000 square foot state-of-the-art instructional and research facility. Centrally located on the main quad of the campus, it is the largest academic building at the university and houses an array of specialized teaching and research facilities. Psychology has its own computer labs, dedicated research spaces, observation rooms, an integrated digital video recording system, and a new vivarium. The new Center for Assessment and Psychological Services (CAPS) wing includes several rooms for providing assessment or intervention/therapy services to clients and state of the art clinical supervision technology.
