Psychology - Bryn Mawr College

Psychology from Bryn Mawr College is a Campus Bachelor Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. We see psychology as a broad and diverse discipline that encompasses both natural science and social science perspectives. The members of the Bryn Mawr Psychology Department believe that all areas of the discipline benefit from a scientific, experimental, and empirical approach. The department's faculty represent most of the basic areas of scientific psychology , including abnormal, biological, cognitive, developmental, animal learning, and social psychology. The Psychology Department at Bryn Mawr is in the somewhat unique position of being part of both the Division of the Natural Sciences and the Division of the Social Sciences. Thus, issues of how mind, body, and culture interact to shape human experience are central to psychological inquiry at Bryn Mawr. This scientific orientation of the Bryn Mawr Psychology Department is best exemplified by our two introductory courses, which are purposely titled Experimental Psychology . The first semester version of this course (Psychology 101) covers the areas of psychology biological psychology , animal learning, and psychosocial development and abnormal psychology. The second semester version of the course (Psychology 102) covers developmental, cognitive, social, and testing psychology . Both Psychology 101 and 102 have a full laboratory that meets four hours a week. Both courses meet the natural science laboratory requirement at Bryn Mawr. For psychology majors, the course requirements are introductory psychology (with lab), statistics, five or six courses at the 200 level, and three or four courses at the 300 level. As students become more advanced, they're encouraged to develop specialized interest in one or more core areas of the discipline. View more details on Bryn Mawr College .
