Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental life.  The discipline is broad, with different fields of study that range from conducting basic research in laboratory or field settings, to meeting the needs of individuals or groups in clinical settings, to addressing philosophical questions of the discipline. The Department represent these various orientations, encouraging students to engage in the analysis of psychological phenomena from diverse perspectives.

Majors explore fundamental areas of the discipline. There is ample opportunity for students to pursue advanced study through directed reading or research projects under the individual direction of their professors. In addition, the Psychology Department, in cooperation with the Biology Department, offers an interdisciplinary concentration that concerns the study of neuroscience and behavior.
