PROGRAM GUIDE | COURSE DESCRIPTIONS | FACULTY | SCHEDULE OF COURSES
Point Park’s Psychology program offers rigorous study of human science psychology that includes existential, cross-cultural, depth psychology and post-structuralist theories. We encourage critical and holistic thinking in order to respectfully address the diverse and unique lived experiences of children and adults. Our faculty members work to foster activist perspectives that enhance the well-being of persons and their communities. In addition, your psychological studies will be enriched by our interdisciplinary interests in literature, cultural studies, film, as well as Eastern and Western philosophy.
Courses are designed to prepare students to enter into continued study at the graduate level to become clinicians and scholars. You will complete course work foundational to psychological thought as well as learn theories of personalities, abnormal behavior, and scholarly research. Then, each student will have the opportunity to choose concentrations of study such as counseling and child development.
During your junior or senior year, you can complete an institutional practicum, which will give you the chance to obtain training and instruction at a local hospital or mental health facility.
