Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Department of Psychology first formed at the UW in 1917 when it split from the former Department of Philosophy and Psychology. The faculty consisted of chair Stevenson Smith, who would serve in the role for more than three decades, and Edwin Guthrie, namesake of the department’s current home, Guthrie Hall. By the 1950s, the department had grown to 23 faculty. A hiring surge tripled this number in the 1960s. Notable alumni include Neal Miller (1931), who worked with Professor Guthrie as an undergraduate and went on to discover biofeedback and do groundbreaking work on the influence of emotions on behavior.
As of 2017, the department is among the largest recipients of federal research grants in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Washington.
