Psychology Department Mission Statement

As a part of Sweet Briar College, the Department of Psychology has as its mission the promotion of intellectual development in the context of a liberal arts and sciences education. We help students understand the methods and major theories of the science of psychology, develop their skills in oral and written communication, quantitative reasoning and computer technology. We encourage an ethic of service in applying psychological knowledge. The Psychology Department provides an educational experience that sets clear and high expectations for students, promotes self expression and active learning in the classroom, gives constructive and systematic feedback from faculty and peers, and encourages a sense of community spirit within and beyond the confines of Sweet Briar College.
