B.A. or B.S. in Psychology

Otterbein offers a major and minor in psychology through which you will study human thought, emotion and behavior. Our program provides you with a thorough grounding in the study of human nature, while emphasizing applications of psychology in society to examine the full range of the human experience. Psychology is a broad area, and the Department of Psychology at Otterbein is committed to helping you obtain the skills and knowledge you need to pursue your career interests and goals.

My relationships with faculty, who pushed and encouraged me to be better than what I thought I could be, will always be appreciated.

As a psychology major, you will be encouraged to participate in research projects. Your research experience will allow you to develop critical thinking, problem solving and data analysis skills, which are attractive to graduate schools and employers. You will have the opportunity to work side-by-side on research with your professors, which may lead to presenting your work at conferences around the country, and even publication. Our students and faculty are currently conducting studies in early childhood development, perception and attention, stress management, health, prejudice, relationships, memory, intelligence, emotion, therapy techniques and clinical psychology.
