Summary

As one of the most popular majors at Saint Louis University, training in psychology provides students with multiple avenues to explore their interests and develop their abilities through research, service and study. SLU students majoring in psychology learn how human behavior depends on biological factors, developmental status, cognitive processes and social conditions.

Psychological science encompasses various methods to address diverse topics, from brain function to cultural influences. The discoveries of psychology improve understanding of the human experience and the quality of life. The Bachelor of Science in Psychology emphasizes developing the skills to conduct research. SLU also offers a B.A. in psychology.

The Saint Louis University Department of Psychology’s mission is to broadly educate students in the discipline of psychology and its applications. Faculty accomplish this by integrating empirical science, theory and practice focused on the evidence-based understanding of behaviors and experiences of individuals and groups, including the family, organizations and institutions.

SLU faculty encourage intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and ethical responsibility. A commitment to value-based, holistic education and an enthusiasm for psychology is realized in the products of research, in graduates, and in serving others locally, nationally and globally. The faculty seek to improve the human condition and promote human welfare by understanding past knowledge, discovering new knowledge and disseminating that knowledge through teaching, publications and service. The faculty educate students to be professionals and challenges them to be ethically responsible, be committed to serving others and respect human diversity in all its forms.
