Description

The mission of the psychology program is to promote awareness and understanding of self and others through a rigorous, well-rounded curriculum. The program provides exposure to the major concepts and research findings in psychology and gives balanced consideration to explaining human behavior from multiple theoretical perspectives. Students will receive rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative research methodology that will teach them to ask and answer questions of the world around them according to the scientific method. The program takes a holistic approach to the field that embraces diverse dimensions of the self, including cognitive, social, emotional, physical, ethical, and spiritual elements, and it examines these personal dimensions across the different stages of life. The program aspires to forge interdisciplinary connections with other fields of study. Through a combination of coursework and experiential learning opportunities, psychology majors will leave Marymount with a solid foundation that is appropriate for graduate study or for working within a vast array of occupations, both in psychology and across other disciplines.

Students can choose from one of two paths (7 unit minimum).
