Psychology is concerned with the scientific discovery of principles underlying human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The major emphasizes a thorough development of psychology’s critical and analytical tools so that students will become adept at formulating meaningful questions about behavior and at devising valid strategies for answering those questions. These goals are pursued in a curriculum that includes both empirical and applied aspects of the discipline in the hope of producing well-rounded, resourceful, and well informed graduates. Students electing to major in psychology will be thoroughly prepared to enter graduate school in any of the major fields of psychology or its related fields. Students also will find psychology an excellent preparation for pursuing a wide variety of careers open to liberal arts graduates requiring a basic understanding of human behavior.
Graduating from Saint Michael’s with a degree in psychology requires taking a minimum of ten courses and obtaining at least an overall 2.0 GPA in the major.
