Psychology is the scientific study of mind, brain and behavior. Understanding the basis of behavior through studies of both humans and animals is an important component of the educational program in psychology at DeSales University. Another important aspect of our program is the preparation of our students for later graduate training and careers in the mental health field or in forensic psychology.
The teaching philosophy of the psychology faculty of DeSales University can be summed up in the following way: Understanding the thoughts, emotions and behaviors of others is critical to the process of evolving into compassionate, empathetic and full human beings. We believe such an understanding can be nurtured through the study of psychology. We also believe that a careful consideration of more than a century of the scientific findings of psychological research give us all - not just our students - some fundamental lessons about how to live our lives in ways that will enable us to be forces of positive change in the world. We are passionate about engaging each student as a uniquely gifted individual, and we are committed not only to the intellectual, but also the moral and cultural development of our majors.
