Students in New England College’s 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 program also provides a foundation from which students may pursue graduate level study and careers in counseling, human services, and community health.
