Students in New England College’s Bachelor in Psychology program are challenged to understand how questions about human functioning are answered through systematic investigation and hypothesis testing. Our faculty are particularly interested in developing a curriculum that is meaningful and relevant so that information that is learned may be directly applied to situations that include parenting, interpersonal relationships, conflict resolution, and personal development.

Concentrations are offered in general psychology, child development, criminal behavior and clinical psychology and this major is well-designed to complement programs in business, economics, education, communication, science, sociology, medicine, law, and environmental studies. This degree in Psychology also provides a foundation from which students may pursue graduate level study and careers in counseling, human services, and community health.

Welcome to the Psych Ward!

We refer to ourselves as the Psych Ward as a way to remember that we can enjoy ourselves, love what we do and still not take ourselves so seriously we lose the joy in teaching and the friendships we have formed with our colleagues and our students.  As a Psychology Major or Minor, you become an official member and are welcomed with open minds.
