Description
The Psychology Department focuses on preprofessional preparation for a combination of research and applied work. In addition to providing a strong liberal arts focus for majors not going beyond the bachelor’s degree, the program is designed to provide a solid foundation for graduate school training in psychology. Successful students graduate ready for entry-level positions helping others or to pursue master’s and doctorate degrees. Psychology majors have opportunities to work with faculty on research projects and/or develop their skills in the field, working with psychologists and agencies dedicated to helping others. The aim is to help majors attain skills that prepare them for college-level teaching, research and therapeutic intervention.
