Why Major in Psychology
Psychology is the science that invites our curiosity about our ordinary and extraordinary behavior.
The study of psychology tends to attract students who are empathic, good listeners, and driven to understand why we behave the way we do. They want to know how to improve their own functioning, and be of help to those around them.
Students are offered a holistic approach to studying psychology. This approach is evident in the interdisciplinary nature of the program, in the commitment of professors to help students achieve academic and professional goals, and in the way students are encouraged to integrate worldview questions into their learning.
While gaining a firm grounding in key theories and principles, students are given the opportunity to apply their learning both in the classroom and in supervised practicum placements. Skills gained through study and experience will be useful in a wide-variety of career paths, and will contribute to finding meaningful employment.
