The mission of the Department of Psychology is to prepare undergraduate students to excel in the field of mental health by providing innovative teaching, action-oriented research opportunities, internship training, as well as the skills and values needed for careers in a dynamic, multicultural global setting.

The vision of the Department of Psychology is to expand its interdisciplinary study of public health, neuroscience, and study abroad initiatives and develop graduate level program(s) in counseling and/or clinical psychology to meet the mental health, social and human needs of a global society.

The Department of Psychology provides specialized training for students planning professional careers in psychology, sociology, social work, and special education services. The Department offers a broad array of courses in psychology to provide a strong background for students who are planning careers in business, education, law, medicine, and social work as well as multiple professional careers in the psychology related fields.

Students considering graduate studies in psychology should plan their major with the guidance of their assigned department advisor so that elective courses may be tailored to their specific career and educational goals. Students majoring in disciplines other than psychology and find psychology courses relevant to their educational goals are welcome to register for those classes after they have completed the prerequisite courses.
