Overview

Though such understanding may lead to greater personal insight, the study of Psychology at Mount Mercy University is focused primarily on a body of empirical knowledge and theoretical formulations that aim to predict and explain behavior.

The approach emphasizes both critical evaluation of evidence and awareness of the implications of psychological knowledge and theory for the lives of persons. Most psychology courses emphasize self-awareness and critical thinking.
