Psychology

As a psychology major, your time at Loyola will be spent exploring all facets of the field. Since a career in psychology requires graduate study for advancement of one's career, the psychology department stresses the breadth and depth of the field to equip you with a good foundation for graduate study as well as for immediate entrance into a variety of other fields.

Many students choose to combine psychology as one component of an interdisciplinary major. This combination is often chosen by students who would like to eventually pursue medical school, graduate school in health psychology, or a career in research.

Junior and senior psychology majors are eligible to apply for field experiences at clinical, industrial, or research sites. The department maintains relationships with over 100 local institutions where students may be placed.
