As one of the most popular majors at Saint 直播自慰视频 University, training in psychology provides students with multiple avenues to explore their interests and develop their abilities through research, service and study. Students majoring in psychology learn how human behavior depends on biological factors, developmental status, cognitive processes and social conditions.

Psychological science encompasses various methods to address diverse topics, from brain function to cultural influences. The discoveries of psychology improve understanding of the human experience and the quality of life. For psychology B.S. students, developing the skills to conduct research is emphasized.

The Saint 直播自慰视频 University Department of Psychology鈥檚 mission is to broadly educate students in the discipline of psychology and its applications. Faculty accomplish this by integrating empirical science, theory and practice focused on the evidence-based understanding of behaviors and experiences of individuals and groups, including the family, organizations and institutions.

SLU faculty encourage intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and ethical responsibility. A commitment to value-based, holistic education and an enthusiasm for psychology is realized in the products of research, in graduates and in service to others locally, nationally and globally. The faculty seeks to contribute to improving the human condition and promote human welfare through understanding past knowledge, discovering new knowledge and disseminating that knowledge through teaching, publications and service. The faculty educate students to be professionals and challenges them to be ethically responsible, be committed to serving others and respect human diversity in all its forms.

Program Highlights

• Psychology majors are mentored by individual faculty members who support students鈥� discernment of and successful progress toward professional goals.
• Psychology majors build evidence-based habits of mind and research skills through working with faculty and graduate students investigating a wide variety of psychological phenomena.
• Psychology majors can take science out of the ivory tower to foster social justice in diverse communities and neighborhoods as members of a social advocacy learning community, at nearby service-learning practicum sites or through values-based research activities.

Curriculum Overview

The undergraduate psychology program offers students three options: a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Science and a minor in psychology. Each introduces students to the study of psychology while developing capacities for evidence-based reasoning, quantitative thinking and psychological inquiry.

Majors receive a strong education in preparation for entry-level employment, with strengths in understanding people and evidence-based reasoning. The B.S. degree further prepares students to enter graduate programs for professional training as psychologists, for which a Ph.D. is needed. Students may also use the B.S. degree in psychology as pre-professional training in medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, education and law.

Fieldwork and Research Opportunities

Students may gain volunteer experience in a variety of practicum settings, including mental health, research, consulting, schools and community service organizations. In addition to completing multiple courses in research methodology and statistics, students may seek out opportunities as undergraduate research assistants working in a faculty member鈥檚 research lab.

Careers

SLU graduates have used their psychology degree as pre-professional training to go on to the fields of medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, education and law. Strengths in understanding and reasoning about human behavior will also prepare students for entry-level positions in many additional fields.

An undergraduate degree in psychology can also prepare students to continue as graduate students with plans to become a psychologist, a profession that requires doctoral-level training.
