Overview
Psychology is a diverse scientific discipline concerned with mental processes, behavior, and applications of its principles to enhance the human condition. The Department of Psychology at Chico offers coursework at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
It requires the completion of three laboratory courses which emphasize student-centered and active learning. Two computer-based laboratories and one wetlab provide exceptional opportunities for instruction and research. All students are also required to complete a senior seminar–either in the regular or honors program. Seminar topics vary from semester to semester and have included: Psychology and the Law; Brain Disorders: the Biology, the Behaviors, the Treatments; Evolutionary Psychology; Psychology and Spiritual Issues; and the Psychology of Human Aggression. We also encourage students to participate in internships and in research with faculty.
The knowledge objectives of our Psychology program at California State University Chico include the biological bases of human behavior, cognitive and perceptual mechanisms, learning and memory processes, social and cultural influences on behavior, the psychological aspects of human development, etiology and treatment of abnormal behavior, determinants of personality and health, and methodology and statistics in psychology.
