Psychology Department

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior. Broadly defined, it includes any human activity from thinking to feeling. The Castleton program also offers rigorous training in various research methods.

By studying psychology, students gain important problem solving skills and an ability to think independently, allowing them to succeed in a broad range of careers. Through the psychology curriculum, a student discovers how to evaluate experiences, learn from them, appraise new information, and draw conclusions.

The department welcomes students who demonstrate the interest, motivation, and intellectual capacity to pursue a career in psychology. Some majors will attend graduate school, while others will seek employment directly after graduation. The department is committed to preparing students for both career choices. The faculty are active as scholars, consultants, and licensed clinicians.
