The program in psychology strives to
prepare students for professional training in the field of
psychology by providing experience with the essential methods
and findings of experimental, clinical, and theoretical
psychology.
Students learn to
think critically about psychological issues
design and carry out scientific studies in the laboratory and in the field
communicate their ideas and conclusions effectively
The program offers courses geared to help students gain
experience with psychology as a science, addressing issues of
human behavior, thought, emotions, and mental illness from a
number of theoretical perspectives. Students develop an
understanding of how the biological underpinnings of behavior
and thought interact with culture and the environment to produce
the human experience. In applied courses, the
scientist-practitioner model allows students to get hands-on
experience performing scientific research and participating in
clinical settings.
Psychology students at Concord University have the opportunity
to tailor their experience through a wide variety of elective
courses and research opportunities which prepare them for
employment in psychology-related fields and graduate study in
areas of psychology, education, medicine, law, and business.
The psychology classrooms and faculty offices are located on the first floor of Marsh Hall,
although psychology classes are sometimes taught elsewhere. Also on the first floor are our
psychology research seminar room, our animal behavior laboratory, observation rooms equipped
with one-way glass, and several individual testing rooms.
