Bachelor [Psychology] From Salisbury University

Psychology is the scientific study of the principles governing behavior and mental processes in humans and other animals and the application of these principles for the well being of both. The department provides a highquality education for students in the methods, theories, research and applications of psychology. Our faculty engages in teaching, research and service; all of which enhance the University, the community and the discipline of psychology.

Students are offered opportunities to learn skills and abilities outside the classroom in our various faculty?mentored courses. For example, in the Psychology Practicum students gain valuable training experience in a range of clinical settings. In Individual Study or Research in Psychology courses, students meet regularly with faculty regarding independent projects or they assist faculty in designing and performing scientific research. This may include library research, developing hypotheses, testing participants, conducting interviews, coding data or presenting findings. These concrete experiences under the guidance of our diverse faculty help students develop valuable and practical skills especially critical thinking.
