Description
Psychology is the study of humans and just about every aspect of the human experience. Most people know that psychologists study and treat mental illnesses, but there is much more to the field than that. Psychologists study how children learn language, why teenagers alternate between conformity and rebellion, and why people see the world in color but dogs don't!
Psychologists are scientists. As a student of psychology you will learn how psychologists conduct research, analyze data, and test theories.
Defiance College encourages students to participate in service learning. Advanced Psychology students have the opportunity to volunteer or work at local mental health and human service agencies.
The Psychology major at Defiance College is designed to:
- Enhance students' understanding of themselves and others.
- Provide an understanding of the psychological principles and theories that are needed in people-oriented careers such as education, business, and the social services.
- Prepare students for graduate study in psychology and related fields.
- Be a highly compatible second major for students in Social Work, Criminal Justice and Human Resources.
