Program Description

The program in psychology is designed to provide students with a scientific foundation in the methods and basic data in psychology and neuroscience and to prepare students for further work in all specializations within the field. The B.A. degree program allows more flexibility and breadth whereas the B.S. degree program emphasizes depth in quantitative skills. Psychology students acquire the fundamentals of learning and memory, perception, attention, reason and problem solving, emotion, thought, language and communication, the development of all these processes and their pathology. In addition, we apply psychology to other fields and teach techniques for measuring and studying psychological variables. Students conduct laboratory experiments on the psychological and physiological bases of behavior. The department has an invertebrate vivarium for laboratory classes and research. There are student opportunities for independent research.
