Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. The mission of the Psychology Department of McDaniel College is to provide students with the training and opportunity to approach questions of human and animal behavior using psychological theories and scientific methods. 

The Psychology Department offers a wide variety of courses in many different areas in psychology.  In addition to coursework, students are encouraged to gain additional hands-on experience through internships and by conducting original research in collaboration with faculty members. 

Students who major in Psychology can apply their knowledge of human behavior and mental processes to various fields including clinical work, education, health, law, business, and public policy.
