Psychological Sciences at Loyola University

Within the department we strive to provide academic and career advising to our majors from their first day on campus through graduation. In fact, many of our majors keep in touch with us and continue to ask for letters of recommendation and advice long after they have graduated. By pairing students with the same faculty advisor from their first year until their last, we encourage the development of a mentoring relationship. Thus, even though we have hundreds of majors, each one is ensured a faculty advocate within the department. Our faculty expertise spans the field of psychology: clinical and counseling, comparative, neuroscience, developmental, social, cognition and learning, and statistics/research design. Students are able to participate in faculty-led research as well as pursue their own research interests or independent studies. Practicum field experiences exist in applied areas of psychology, including clinical/counseling.
