Faculty

Our faculty includes over 20 full-time faculty positions who support the undergraduate program and the Human Factors and Industrial/Organizational Psychology graduate programs, as well as Wright State's interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. program. In addition to our regular faculty, we are also lucky to have many adjunct and emeritus faculty members who take time from their research laboratories and businesses around the Dayton area, to teach classes at Wright State University.
