The Psychology Program provides grounding in
the content areas of abnormal psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental
psychology, social psychology, and neuroscience. It provides
a thorough foundation in empirical methodology and analysis, and offers
opportunities to participate in meaningful research and laboratory
experiences. Students are strongly
encouraged to pursue opportunities for research or community-based practicum
experiences that complement their regular course work and that connect academic
learning with practical applications.
