The Psychology Department offers a broad program covering areas of abnormal, clinical, cognitive, developmental, experimental, humanistic, learning and memory, and social psychology.
Students explore the study of behavior from both the empirical and the theoretical perspectives.
Furthermore, students become familiar with statistical procedures, develop skills in research design and the execution of experiments, and perform their own research projects and write scholarly papers. In addition to classroom work, many internships and research placements are available. Several of the faculty are involved in ongoing research projects in which students may participate. The program provides strong academic training consistent with preprofessional preparation for a career in a variety of psychological fields, in education, in business, and in research. The Department of Psychology offers four-year degree programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
