MISSION STATEMENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

The mission of the Psychology Department at The College of St. Scholastica is to advance the understanding of human behavior and the scientific method used to study it. The Psychology Faculty advance this mission by offering courses, providing consultation, and sponsoring professionally-related co-curricular activities. Our goal is to help psychology majors prepare for post-baccalaureate careers or graduate school and to provide non-majors in our service courses with a strong psychological science foundation for integration with their majors. The core value underlying our mission is the conviction that psychological science offers research-supported principles of great utility for understanding human thinking and behavior and for solving many individual, interpersonal, and societal problems. The life-span developmental perspective, sensitivity to diversity, and experiential learning are emphasized throughout the curriculum. To see how our mission is carried out, click on learning outcomes.
