We have approximately 250 majors and 60 minors and we serve a large number of students in other majors. Faculty members vary greatly in their professional interests and students are therefore exposed to a wide variety of approaches in the study of psychology. A full range of psychology courses is offered at the undergraduate level and students are provided a broad-based program of study. Courses range from the philosophical to the scientific. Upper level classes are small, and faculty members are always available to discuss academic matters and career options with students.
Independent study is available and encouraged for qualified students.
This typically involves experimental or library research under the direction of a faculty member. Many students have presented the results of their research at undergraduate research conferences . Faculty offices and many of our classrooms are located on the third floor of Thompson Hall, the social sciences building on campus. This building also houses numerous psychology research rooms and a computer lab which psychology faculty and students use extensively.
