Psychology
Department mission:
The Psychology Department supports the larger mission of St. Francis College by promoting academic excellence, critical thinking, and a commitment to social justice. These values are pursued with sensitivity to and appreciation of intellectual and cultural diversity.
Dedicated to advancing the understanding of the mind and behavior through scientific methods, the Department emphasizes the application of psychological science to promote human welfare. Its programs combine methodological and theoretical coursework with fieldwork to develop both research and applied skills. Students explore the foundations of psychology through a broad range of courses and experiential learning opportunities, preparing for careers in applied settings as well as advanced graduate study.
In keeping with the goals of a liberal arts education, the psychology major also fosters lifelong learning, critical thinking, and responsible action.
