Psychology, B.S.
Experiential learning is the cornerstone of our Psychology program. You’ll hone observational and experimental methods in laboratory courses as well as independent research programs. In fact, with the guidance and support of our student-focused faculty, you may find yourself examining assessment practices in a juvenile correctional facility, or even observing the curiosity of toddlers as they begin to navigate the world of spoken language.
If the desire to help others is a primary motivating factor for you, multiple opportunities to learn practical skills await. Gain valuable experience in an internship serving a variety of community agencies in Northwest Indiana
