Psychology
Overview
An important part of liberal arts education involves understanding oneself, one’s own behavior, and the actions of others. The psychology program introduces techniques for investigating and understanding human behavior both within and outside of the normal range of coping in one’s environment. In addition to the classroom, field experience and research provide opportunities to apply classroom learning along with valuable training for employment or graduate school.
Students in psychology learn valuable professional skills such as social and interpersonal skills, qualitative and quantitative analysis, critical thinking, problem solving, effective oral and written communication, and the importance of working as a team. Psychology majors find employment in mental health, business, government, education, health care, and social services.
