Overview of the Department of Psychology's Undergraduate Program
On behalf of the psychology faculty and advising office, we welcome
you to learn about our undergraduate program in psychology. Our program
is science-based, meaning that the material taught in our classes is
based on the findings of carefully conducted scientific research and
that students are taught how to apply critical scientific thinking to
their work and even personal lives. As a science-based program,
students also are provided with many opportunities to assist our faculty,
postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students in scientific research within
many different areas of psychology (see information on Directed Individual
Study-DIS). In some cases, advanced students may even have
opportunities to conduct their own research under the supervision of
a faculty member. (see honors section)
Courses and research opportunities cover many diverse areas, including
clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology,
neuroscience/psychobiology, performance management/applied behavior
analysis, and social psychology. Our courses and research opportunities
provide students with the training they will need to continue their
psychology education in graduate school or in various careers. We hope
you find our web pages informative. We encourage you to contact the
psychology advising office or individual faculty members for additional
information.
