The psychology major seeks to assist students in developing a critical knowledge of psychology as a science and as a means to promote human welfare. These goals reflect the College’s mission and identity statements, which promote educating students for meaningful professional lives of service and a lifelong search for truth.

Students planning to enter the field of Human Services or graduate school in Human Services, Counseling or Social Work may choose a psychology major with an interdisciplinary concentration in Human Services. Completion of this concentration enables students to take the social work certification exam through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services. Graduates passing the exam are allowed to hold employment as entry level social workers in the state of Wisconsin.
