Psychology is a science, a data-based scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Thus, probably the most important skills related to the discipline that an undergraduate program can provide for its students is a solid foundation in its methods for answering and generating questions about human behavior and mental processes. Furthermore, our program allows us the time to specifically teach students how to critically evaluate information from the popular media that many other programs typically ignore. The structure of our program ensures that our students will have that breadth. Moreover, we offer some very unique courses in areas such as leadership skills and health psychology.
Practical experience is the final component needed in an undergraduate program.
In addition to the experience in course work like Counseling Skills and Neuroscience Laboratory, our students receive academic credit for working with professionals in a variety of other settings through Independent Study and Pre-Professional Internships.
