I know that you will enjoy meeting the faculty during your regular advising sessions and at other times as well. We each have a page in the faculty section which introduces us to you. What is most important to us is who you are and what your future goals might be. That is, our department is student centered in terms of what we are trying to accomplish. As psychologists, we want to expose you to the most relevant, interesting and valuable information our field has to offer in order to enhance your life and your future.
Students take courses in psychology in order to study behavior.
The faculty is in place to help you to understand the field of psychology in various ways. Although normal behavior is emphasized, abnormal behavior is considered in several courses. I know that you will enjoy your psychology courses whether your goal is to find employment after earning a Bachelor's Degree or whether you wish to pursue graduate training. We feel that with proper advising, our majors are prepared to go in either direction. Of course, most other majors take psychology courses too.
