HISTORY
As part of Stanford's ongoing deep commitment to undergraduate education, the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE) began to fund the Psychology One Program in 2002, envisioning a flagship course for the Psychology Department and for the university. Because of psychology's unique focus on who we are and how we think, feel, and act as human beings, VPUE saw Psychology One as an important course in any undergraduate's career. Here are a few milestones:
