The Program
Within the context of a broad liberal arts education in the College of Arts and Sciences from Kansas State University, the mission of the Undergraduate Program in Psychology is to provide an educational environment in which our students learn the basic concepts and principles of psychology and the methods of scientific inquiry into the behavior of individuals.
The knowledge and skills that students obtain in our undergraduate program are useful in postgraduate education and in a wide variety of employment settings and careers.
- We facilitate our students’ learning of the basic concepts and principles of psychology through classroom and non-classroom experiences (e.g., teaching practicums, research, internships, and field placements in various settings).
- We facilitate our students’ learning of the methods of scientific inquiry into behavior, thought, and emotion through classes and opportunities in empirical research.
- We facilitate our students’ abilities to evaluate claims and conclusions about psychological processes in a constructively critical manner. We provide our students opportunities to become critical thinkers and consumers of information pertaining to behavior, thought, motivation, and emotion.
- A significant portion of the Psychological Sciences Department’s teaching resources are devoted to undergraduate majors outside Psychology through numerous and popular “service courses” that we offer each semester.
