在这里学什么？

The Department of Psychology introduces students to the content and methods of the science of psychology. Students survey the foundations of the field, learn about statistics and experimental design, and have an opportunity to pursue specific interests through upper-level seminars, applied internships, and supervised and independent research. The psychology major prepares students for graduate work in areas of psychology, or for work in related fields such as medicine, law, education, social work, and public policy. Students with a degree in psychology are also particularly well suited for any entry-level position that demands a solid liberal arts education.

Departmental requirements for a degree in Psychology are laid out below. While they provide a broad overview of the field, there are also opportunities both within and outside of the major to explore specific interests.

• Students interested in cognitive and/or behavioral neuroscience should focus on the Psychology courses that comprise the Behavioral Neuroscience concentration, along with Philosophy courses on philosophy of mind and of language, and Biology courses in genetics, animal behavior, physiology, and evolutionary theory.
• Those with interests in mental health should consider Psychology courses on abnormal psychology, psychotherapy, psychological testing, neuropsychology, and learning, as well as Sociology courses on social work and the courses, drawn from a variety of departments that comprise the Health Studies minor.

Throughout their time at Fairfield, students should work with their advisors to refine their interests. Together they can then identify specific courses within and outside of the major that will enrich their understanding of those areas of interest.

The psychology courses that constitute the curriculum for a B.S. degree in psychology are identical to those required for the B.A. degree. Additionally, the B.S. requires a year of math with at least one calculus course at or above the level of MA 119 and the following natural science courses.
