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.
