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.
