WMU Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology’s undergraduate program has a natural science orientation consistent with the contemporary definition of psychology as the science of behavior. This perspective, along with strong components dedicated to experimental and behavior analysis, has earned the department an international reputation. The psychology major is well-known for its excellent preparation for graduate study in psychology. This, along with the skills learned through the practicum in which course work and practical experience are combined, places our students in demand by employers who seek graduates with this type of education and training.
