Study People Empower Growth
If you are captivated by the mysteries of the mind and curious about why people do what they do, psychology offers a powerful path of discovery. This major sits at the crossroads of scientific inquiry and human connection, inviting you to understand others on a deeper level. With opportunities in schools, hospitals, treatment centers, and community agencies on the rise, a psychology degree opens the door to exciting and meaningful careers. You will explore how the brain works, why behavior unfolds the way it does, and how to apply that knowledge to improve lives.

At Culver-Stockton, I had the privilege of being part of the Psychology department, which offered valuable leadership opportunities and campus involvement. The professors were genuinely committed to our success, treating us as individuals, not just numbers. This supportive environment fostered education, ambitious students and prepared me well for life after graduation.

Information About Our Minors
Our Psychology minor complements a wide range of majors, particularly those that focus on understanding people and their behavior, such as Business and Marketing. Students may also pursue our minor in Child Advocacy Studies (CAST), a program that follows the standards of the National Child Protection Training Center. CAST courses are taught by faculty with extensive experience in the child welfare field, both as practitioners and as trainers, ensuring a strong, practice-informed foundation.
Psychology majors frequently enhance their studies by adding minors in areas such as Business or other liberal arts disciplines, allowing them to tailor their academic experience to their interests and career goals.
