心理学

关于 the 心理学 Area of Concentration

Our faculty and students study people and other animals (otters, 海豚, 狗, 海牛,+) using a variety of approaches such as neuroimaging, 面试, 调查, 实验干预, 测量生理, volunteering in our Child Care Center, 分析视频, 语言, 还有声学数据——还有更多! By using these great tools we teach students how to design research and think creatively to answer intriguing questions about behavior and the natural world.

We also have partnerships within the college (e.g., our Biopsychology 和神经科学 programs) and outside the college (e.g., the Chicago Zoological Society’s 萨拉索塔 Dolphin Research Program, 主教博物馆, the Lemur Conservation 基金会, and others) to expand their learning options. Our students go on to a variety of great futures as social and mental health advocates, 医生, 律师, 兽医, researcher-scientists who earn their PhDs (alumnae/i write to tell us it’s usually “too easy” their first year), 实验室技术, 临床专业, 动物园和水族馆的专业人士, 电子游戏作家, 喜剧演员, Planned Parenthood administrators, 还有更多. They also make friends for life, perhaps because they spend so much time together in our bayside building.

“New College gives you the ability to decide what you want to do for an Independent Study Project on your own. To have a month dedicated to personalized research is not something you will find many places.”
