The psychology program at Coe is centered on a traditional, scientific approach to the discipline. Students learn not only the content matter of psychology, but also a host of research and technical skills. Students work closely with faculty, both in traditional classroom settings and the ample opportunities provided for independent study and research exploration.
- Both research experience and hands-on internship placements in community centers and businesses are important aspects of the psychology program at Coe.
- By taking part in research programs offered by the departments, students are able to sharpen their critical thinking skills by learning to formulate a problem, define variables, collect, analyze, and interpret data, and to communicate their findings to others.
- Students are well prepared by our curriculum for successful application to competitive graduate and professional programs.
