Overview

The Psychology major is ideal for students who are fascinated by the complexity of human behavior. You’ll explore the ways the mind is shaped (for better or worse) by genetic heritage, brain functioning, social surroundings and life experiences.

You’ll study neuroscience, developmental and social psychology, and the causes and treatment of mental illness. In small classes, you’ll work side by side with outstanding faculty. You’ll prepare for a lifetime of successful service and achievement not only in clinical or research settings, but also in schools, hospitals, marketing firms, government agencies, law firms and many other professional venues. This is a flexible major with many applications.

More ways to learn on campus and beyond

Practical experience is built into the Psychology curriculum. Our internships draw on Chicago’s great research, clinical and corporate resources.

On Illinois Dominican University's campus, you can complete your own, hands-on research project in close collaboration with expert faculty, and present your findings at our annual spring research expo.

You also can combine academic study with compassionate service to people in need, or immerse yourself in a different society and culture through Dominican’s outstanding study abroad program. You’ll have your choice from among programs on four continents.
