Psychology Department
The
Department of Psychology at Lebanon Valley College offers a strong traditional background in a variety of
psychological subdisciplines as well as opportunities for hands-on experience in psychological research.
Experienced Faculty
Our full-time faculty have expertise in areas such as: clinical/counseling; organizational and quantitative
psychology; developmental and educational psychology; and physiological psychology and the neurosciences.
Complementing the full-time faculty are a number of adjunct faculty from area hospitals, schools, and private
practice who regularly teach additional classes in the department.
Hands-on Involvement
Strengthening classroom education, many psychology majors participate in independent research projects under the
guidance and supervision of individual faculty members. Several students have been co-authors of published papers
and paper presentations at scientific conferences. This hands-on involvement has proved invaluable for pursuing
graduate careers in psychology and other fields of study.
In addition, our internship program gives college credit for work experience relevant to your particular
interests within the field of psychology.
Overall, the department of psychology at Lebanon Valley College offers the "best of both worlds". That
is, experiences and facilities usually associated only with larger universities, along with individualized
instruction and advisement characteristic of small liberal arts institutions.
