Psychologists study how people (and other animals) think, feel, and behave. The Psychology curriculum includes a broad range of topics including abnormal behavior, social psychology, leadership and organizational psychology, human development, cognition, political psychology, cross-cultural psychology, neuropsychology, statistics, and many more. It is designed to provide students with a breadth of knowledge and hands-on experiences in applied, professional, and scientific psychology. Additionally, consistent with CMC's emphasis on public affairs, there is coursework on the application of psychology to current social issues and public policy. Interdisciplinary sequences in Leadership, Legal Studies, and Neuroscience allow students to integrate Psychology with other majors such as Economics, Government, and the biological sciences so that they can develop the expertise that will expand their career options.
Faculty research and teaching interests include leadership, social, cognitive development, emotion and cognition, memory, neuroscience, critical thinking, child and family therapy, jury decision making, and legal issues. In addition to course requirements, students are encouraged to participate in faculty research labs and specialized options for leadership and clinical internships, as well as independent study. Because CMC is a member of The Claremont Colleges, faculty and students have the ability to utilize the combined resources of the colleges located here in Claremont, California. Students are strongly encouraged to and often develop close, consultative relationships with faculty members. So, if you think that a major in Psychology might be right for you, stop in and talk with our stellar faculty. |
