Overview
Psychology is the study of the mind and how it affects human
behavior, as well as the developmental influences involved in the
individual’s actions.Â
Psychology at the Mount
Psychology study at the Mount is designed to satisfy
intellectual curiosity, offer insight into human behavior, and to
offer another dimension to education and nursing studies in
particular, and all disciplines in general.
Our students receive a solid preparation for graduate study in
educational psychology, guidance and personal development, clinical
and school social work, and general psychology leading to a
doctorate. The program also prepares the student for entry-level
positions in many areas, including social work agencies,
corrections, or human resources.
Our distinguished faculty designed the required courses in the
psychology major to give students a strong background in
clinical/counseling psychology, developmental psychology, and
research methodology. In the past, our students have presented
their independent research at several distinguished conferences in
New York State.
