Psychology studies some of humanity’s most enduring questions with one of humanity’s most powerful tools: science. By exploring how we function – and why we don’t always function well – this field offers profound insights into the mental processes, emotions, and interactions that come to define us. This knowledge allows us to improve the human condition at both the individual and societal levels.
The psychology curriculum at DePauw helps get you there by establishing a well-rounded foundation of knowledge and expertise. You’ll enjoy courses that nurture a wide breadth of conceptual understanding, courses that focus on specific skills like research methodology and data analysis and courses that put you in the field conducting novel scientific research. When paid with our numerous opportunities for internships, winter term travel and off-campus study, this program places you directly on the path toward graduate work or any of the numerous careers that require a deep awareness of human behavior and interactions.
