Welcome to the Psychology Department

Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes that can be approached from a broad spectrum of perspectives/sub-fields. Faculty interests span a wide range of areas from development, aging and health to neurological and cognitive processing to counseling and clinical interests.

The Psychology Department at WSC is composed of 14 faculty members with diverse interests within the sub-fields of psychology. Psychology is a vital department to any institution and as such this department offers many courses that are required for other majors as well as an impressive selection of specialized courses.

Our faculty members teach a variety of courses including those that are required for majors and their own specialties. In addition, many faculty are active researchers, counselors and community members.

We hope that the next pages of our site answer questions you might have about psychology at Worcester State College.

“The purpose of psychology
is to give us a completely different idea
of the things we know best.”
