At Dakota Wesleyan University, psychology students
explore behavior from multiple viewpoints, including biological,
behavioral, cognitive, social, and cultural. Students learn
to conduct scientific research and to evaluate carefully the
research of psychologists and other students. Psychology students
are encouraged to wrestle with philosophical issues and concepts
that have been and continue to be important for psychologists.
The Psychology Department is committed to preparing each student
for the next step, which may be employment or graduate school,
in his or her journey.
