Psychology

The Psychology Department at St. Kate’s features an energetic faculty specializing in the areas of clinical, cognitive, developmental, social psychology, history of psychology, and industrial-organizational psychology.

Faculty members bring a variety of research interests to their teaching. Students work closely with faculty to perform research and develop written and oral reports of their findings. As a result, St. Kate’s psychology graduates are excellent researchers and communicators, which serves them well in whatever career paths they choose.

As a psychology major, you will take courses in psychology, biology and philosophy and we will encourage you to participate in a broad, liberal arts curriculum. You can earn a psychology major in conjunction with a major in education, nursing, occupational science or social work.

What can you do with a psychology major?

St. Kate’s psychology majors work in schools as counselors and caseworkers; in residential treatment centers, group homes and shelters; in the legal system as victim advocates; and as human resource consultants. The major is also a good foundation for graduate work in the mental health fields and school psychology.
