The Dr. Wiley F. Smith Department of Psychology at Appalachian State University has 38 full-time faculty members. Graduate courses are offered across applied and basic areas of psychological science. The PsyD program has 8 core program faculty members (see details and links below) who serve as primary mentors for Psy.D. candidates. The low student/faculty ratio enables the faculty to become professional and scholarly mentors for their students and to maintain a close professional interest in each student's progress and development. The opportunity for students to participate directly in active research programs allows them to become coauthors on scholarly publications and presentations with faculty members.
