TLU's psychology program is structured to provide students with an understanding of the major content areas of the field and their historical foundations, the necessary research and quantitative skills to understand and conduct behavioral research, and opportunities to practice and extend their knowledge of psychology outside the classroom in research and applied settings. The psychology program encourages an appreciation of both the interconnections between psychology and other fields of study and psychology’s implications for personal growth and practical issues.

Why TLU?
Psychology students present research at conferences, listen to special speakers, participate in internships, and work closely with other psychology majors and faculty in a host of contexts. The five main areas of courses—general psychology, measurement and methodology, basic processes, the person, and applied processes—provide students with a deep knowledge of their field. The program’s emphasis of combining the empirical study of behavior with a broad liberal arts education prepares students for graduate study, further education in other fields and for careers in many settings. Psychology studies at TLU are taken beyond the classroom and include hosting forums, symposiums and conferences, as well as pursuing outside research made possible through the Knaier and Hiner psychological research and travel awards.
