Description

The Department of Psychologys mission is to encourage students to become independent thinkers who read critically, who can make sensitive observations and who can generate original ideas, making use of current theoretical constructs and relevant empirical data.

The program prepares students for entry into professional life or for graduate studies in diverse programs of study, including clinical, neuroscience, developmental, social and cultural psychology.

Psychology majors work in a variety of fields, where knowledge of human motivation, critical thinking skills, and sensitivity are valued. To become a practicing psychologist, students must pursue a degree at the Masters or Doctorate level.
