Departmental Goals and Objectives
As a scholarly discipline, psychology represents a major field of study in academic settings. The primary goal of the Department of Psychology is to teach students the significant concepts, theories, research findings, and methodological approaches of contemporary psychology.
As a scientific field of study, psychology entails the investigation of human and animal phenomena, principally by examining the factors that affect psychological processes. The psychology faculty at Denison are actively involved exploring various aspects of human and animal functioning through their own research, and an important component of a student´s training at Denison is direct involvement in psychological research.
As an applied profession, psychology involves the application of knowledge, skills, and techniques to the prevention and solution of individual and social problems. Our faculty have accumulated a variety of applied experiences in clinical, counseling, educational,industrial, or social settings.
The Department of Psychology at Denison offers a wide range of courses, applied experiences, and research activities in order to thoroughly cover these facets of psychology and to meet the diversity of students' needs and interests.
