Converse College Undergraduate Academic Programs

Psychology

Small classes, research opportunities, and internships - as a psychology major at Converse College, one can take advantage of an array of learning tools to build a strong foundation in the discipline.

Psychology studies concentrate on:

the procedures of statistical methods and experimental design
the history and philosophy of the discipline
the laws of the major categories of behavior (respondent and operant)
the requirements of writing in manuscript style
and the study of historical and contemporary theories that psychologists have proposed.

As a major, a student is expected to demonstrate mastery in these areas through the preparation of a seminar paper during the spring of the senior year. Courses outside the common core are offered for specialized study of narrower fields of the discipline.
