Psychology

Within the Department of Psychology at Whittier College, students and faculty study how people think and behave. Our psychology courses provide background in the social, cultural, developmental, mental, emotional, and biological bases of behavior. The primary goal of our curriculum is to enable students to think like psychologists.
