Westminster's Psychology Program

Why Study Psychology at Westminster?

Our Psychology program takes you on a journey of scientific inquiry into the fascinating realm of the human mind--of human behavior and its determinants. Our faculty represent a unique combination of life experience, active research, and academic achievement, with specialization in several complementary branches of Psychology, including Social, Cognitive, Biological, Clinical, Developmental, Anthropological, and Experimental.

The psychology curriculum provides students with an academic and experiential background for graduate study in psychology and/or employment in social service or research settings and gives the student a breadth of background while also allowing some specialization.

The Westminster Difference:

• Saturday seminars and special courses taught by working professionals strengthen our connection with the community.
  
• Participate in internships/Senior Project opportunities including clinical or developmental organizations; prisons; junior/juvenile facilities; social service agencies; community/volunteer organizations; or faculty research projects.
• We have our own chapter of Psi Chi Honor Society, and encourage membership in other scholarly and professional organizations.
