It’s Human Nature

Explore the human experience and play an important role in answering questions about cognition and behavior with a degree in psychology from Colby-Sawyer.

Meeting of the Minds

Deepen your understanding of psychology and the social and cultural experiences that shape human behavior to meet the changing needs of people, organizations and communities. Coursework in health and biological psychology, counseling and abnormal psychology, social psychology, research design and analysis train you in the accurate development of healthy behavioral solutions and strategies. Participate in intensive, cutting-edge research projects alongside your professors and pursue your own research interests with clinical experience in our human interaction laboratory.

“I learned a broad range of skills, from independent research design and assessment to basic counseling techniques. The values I learned at Colby-Sawyer show up in my work and personal life every single day.”

Christina Winnett ’13

M.Ed. from Boston College
Assistant director of Residential Life at Vassar College

A required internship in the psychology-related organization of your choice offers a rich learning opportunity that encourages skill development, professional growth and ethical awareness, and prepares you for clinical and research work in a variety of diverse settings.

A Capstone project your senior year provides experience implementing your own research — you will design and investigate a study in a self-selected area of interest and present your findings to the college community. Recent projects have examined the role of nicotine in attention, the effects of listening to music on memory, and the influence of peer feedback on test performance.

A minor in psychology can be combined with any baccalaureate degree. Please see the college catalog for specific requirements.

Join Forces
