Counseling and Psychology

The undergraduate and graduate programs in psychology are designed to prepare students for future training in the mental health professions, including careers in clinical and counseling psychology, psychiatry and psychiatric social work. In recent years, about half of the graduating seniors have continued this education and training in graduate school. Students wishing to enter such programs are advised to supplement the courses in the regular psychology curriculum with electives in biology and statistics. The psychology curriculum prepares the student through exposure to theories and research in developmental, clinical, social and personality subfields of psychology.
