Overview

The core requirements of the psychology major are designed to provide a broad foundation across the spectrum of subject areas in psychology. Students select from a range of elective courses to gain greater expertise in areas that will best prepare them for graduate school programs in psychology or related career options, for example, the health related fields of Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy, or Medical School.

A common thread among the various courses is an emphasis on the scientific foundation and empirical basis of psychological principles and their application to understanding the individual, her development, and her behavior in a social context. Writing skills are highlighted in much of the coursework, and students are encouraged to expand their learning outside of the classroom by participating in research and/or clinical experiences with, or sponsored by psychology faculty.

A Psychology major at Yeshiva University can lead to graduate or career opportunities not only in psychology itself, but also in such related fields as occupational therapy other health services, education and social work.
