Psychology students develop scientific skills in a liberal arts context through classes, research and internships.
Psychology
It is our mission to develop effective and confident communicators who will be leaders in science and health-related fields.
Sweet Briar psychology graduates are well ahead of their peers when it comes to research and internship experiences, which are as important for intellectual and personal growth as they are for our curriculum and a student’s résumé. The subject matter of psychology spans both the biological and the social sciences and we encourage each student to develop her scientific skills in the context of a liberal arts education.
