The mission of the Davidson College Psychology Department is to provide students with an outstanding education in all aspects of the science and practice of psychology. As committed teachers, researchers, practitioners, and advisers, we offer our students a rigorous curriculum of courses, research opportunities, and field experiences, combined with individualized mentoring. Thus are our students fully prepared to use their knowledge of psychology to flourish and to reach their highest level of professional attainment in their lives after Davidson. Critical to this mission, the department continuously works to maintain its standing as a nationally recognized center of psychological research and scholarship by supporting, encouraging, and facilitating the professional development of its faculty and staff. As psychologists who are dedicated to contributing to our discipline, we maintain a positive climate of collegiality, collaboration, high standards, and overall daily excellence within the department, from which our faculty as well as our students benefit both personally and professionally.
