and a good example of a growing trend in behavioral research". The Urban Planning and Public Policy department ranked at the top of measures of productivity in a 2012 Planetizen survey of 372 planning educators from accredited planning schools. Academics Core courses introduce B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. Social Ecology students to integrative concepts and methods drawn from systems theory and ecology, while also emphasizing the value of applying multiple disciplinary perspectives to the analysis of community problems. Students are both trained in research skills and prepared for community-oriented jobs. The School is organized into three departments. The department of criminology and law and society focuses on "the social, political, economic and cultural factors that lead to the development of law and explain the structure of our legal system". The psychological science department researches "developmental, social, personality, health, and legal aspects of psychology as well as biological, clinical, cultural, community, environmental, and ecological psychology". Finally, the department of planning, policy and design studies the areas and intersections of the natural environment, the built community and public policy. The department is especially centered on the intersection of these three fields. SSE's faculty include Elizabeth Loftus, known for her expertise on false memories. SSE offers majors in Criminology, Law and Society; Psychology and Social Behavior; Social Ecology; and Urban Studies, as well as various minors in a variety of topics relating to the population and their impact on society. The field study curriculum requires all undergraduate Social Ecology students to complete internships at local sites to encourage experiential learning and community-engaged scholarship. Graduate degrees include master's degrees in urban and regional planning, public policy (jointly with the School of Social Sciences) and criminology, law & society, as well as PhDs in Social Ecology; Criminology, Law and Society; Planning, Policy and Design; and Psychology and Social Behavior. Research centers SSE research centers focus on institutional, legal, political, environmental, and social issues. SSE's centers include the Center for Evidence-Based Corrections, Community Outreach Partnership Center, Center for Psychology and Law, Center for Unconventional Security Affairs, and the Newkirk Center for Science and Society. In addition, the School partners with other units on campus for interdisciplinary research centers, such the Center in Law, Society and Culture (in partnership with the Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences) and the Center for Organizational Research (with the Schools of Social Sciences, Business, and Information and Computer Sciences).
