Psychology - 2015 University Catalog
Chairperson: Kenneth Sumner
Undergraduate
courses in psychology establish a sound basis for critical thinking and
scientific understanding of human behavior.
This training develops intellectual tools useful in a variety of careers
and settings where self-understanding and understanding of others are
important. These include careers in
psychology as well as business, law, education, and many other helping
professions (e.g., social work, counseling, child advocacy). Courses required for teacher certification in
the State of New Jersey, as described in the Teacher Education Program, are
provided.
In addition to a diverse general psychology program, the department offers a
minor in Psychology and an Honors Seminar Program.
