Psychology is the study of the basic processes of the mind and the brain and the behaviour they produce. Our undergraduates learn about basic principles of human and animal behaviour, the scientific methods used to derive and refine those principles and appropriate ways to apply such knowledge.
The secondary social studies education program comprises of seven different majors: Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. We produce middle and high school teachers who are dedicated to transforming the lives of future generations through teaching social studies. Our graduates are committed to helping adolescents become informed, engaged and caring citizens, knowing that these same students will be the history makers of tomorrow. Our goal is to inspire our future educators to teach passionately and knowledgeably so that all students are included in the mosaic of the past, present and future. This commitment, combined with rigorous program standards, enable our graduates to secure teaching jobs throughout the Eastern Seaboard, the nation and abroad.
it is recommended that Psychology Education majors also complete a History minor so they are better prepared to teach history classes at the secondary school level.
