Studies in psychology serve to promote positive individual functioning and foster insights critical to understanding and interacting with others. In Psychology, we explore theories and research relevant to questions of culture, gender, learning, cognitive and emotional development, interpersonal relationships, and communication. Psychology students are invited to explore these parts of the human experience and their physiological underpinnings.

Studies in Psychology offers students a more thorough understanding of themselves and others, by encouraging students to bring their beliefs and worldviews into the classroom. At CMU, the Psychology program offers opportunities to consider critically various points of contact between psychology and faith.
