PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Lawrence University

Appleton, WI



Welcome to the Lawrence University Psychology Department homepage!

Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. The psychology curriculum is well-balanced to represent the breath of the core areas of psychology (neuroscience, cognitive, developmental,personality, social, and clinical psychology) and provide opportunity for the in-depth study of specific topics (e.g.,pharmacology, music, language, psychopathology, adolescent development, prejudice). Research, through which psychological theories are developed and tested, is emphasized throughout the curriculum.

The Psychology Major

Psychology faculty members are committed to a broad approach in designing the major. The requirements reflect our concern that majors experience the variety of approaches psychology offers, while allowing for flexibility at the advanced level, so that students may pursue areas of individual interest in sufficient depth. The major program provides students with a theoretical and methodological base that enhances their ability to understand and explore human psychology and behavior.
