Study Content

In this department, students hone their interpersonal skills—a vital area in clinical psychology—by engaging in counseling and volunteer activities. A rich curriculum offers specialized study in four core fields of psychology: (1) experimental psychology, in which students conduct research into foundational areas of psychology such as perceptive and cognitive mechanisms; (2) social and applied psychology, in which human behavior is examined in a social context; (3) clinical and developmental psychology, which provide a framework for delivering individualized mental care; and (4) health and sports psychology, which explores mental training and mental health in sports.
