The goals of the faculty in the Department of Psychology are to introduce students to the ideas and concepts relevant to this discipline, encourage interdisciplinary learning, prepare students for study in graduate schools, prepare students for entry-level jobs requiring knowledge in psychology, and train students to conduct both basic and applied research. These goals are reached through quality classroom instruction, departmental colloquia, departmental student organizations, internship opportunities through independent study, and individualized research projects. We offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, a Master of Science (M.S.) in Health Psychology, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Applied Psychology.
