The department offers a wide variety of courses in clinical, biological, experimental, developmental and social psychology, as well as advanced courses and seminars in specialized areas. Writing skills are highlighted in much of the coursework, and students are encouraged to expand their learning outside of the classroom by participating in research and/or clinical experiences with, or sponsored by psychology faculty.

The psychology course seeks to guide students in developing their knowledge of statistics and research methodology, as well as the major subfields of psychology, including biological, cognitive, developmental, personality and social psychology.
