The department offers a wide variety of courses in clinical, biological, experimental, developmental and social psychology, as well as advanced courses and seminars in specialized areas.

Pre-psychology advisement is available for students at all points in their undergraduate major to assist with course sequencing, obtaining research or clinical internships and applying to graduate school. Additionally, students are encouraged to participate in the Psychology Club and to qualify for Psi Chi, the psychology honor society.

A psychology major can lead to graduate or career opportunities not only in psychology itself, but also in related fields such as occupational therapy other health services, education and social work.

Mission Statement

The core requirements of the psychology major are designed to provide a broad foundation across the spectrum of subject areas in psychology. Students select from a range of elective courses to gain greater expertise in areas that will best prepare them for graduate school programs in psychology or related career options, for example, the health related fields of Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy, or Medical School. A common thread among the various courses is an emphasis on the scientific foundation and empirical basis of psychological principles and their application to understanding the individual, her development, and her behavior in a social context. Writing skills are highlighted in much of the coursework, and students are encouraged to expand their learning outside of the classroom by participating in research and/or clinical experiences with, or sponsored by psychology faculty.

Program Student Learning Goals

• Psychology majors will be able to demonstrate knowledge of research methodology and the relationship between empirical evidence and psychological theories.
• Psychology majors will be able to apply the principles of psychology they have learned in the classroom to everyday experience.
