“The Department of Psychology at Chowan is an enriching environment which cultivates minds and teaches the fundamentals of human behavior. The professors are dedicated to their students an in return we gain priceless knowledge.”
- Uhurua Gillespie, current Psychology major

If you are interested in why people think, feel and act as they do, then Chowan University's Department of Psychology has you in mind!

The Psychology Department at Chowan University offers three distinct study tracks to focus our students’ skills into their fields

• the Counseling/Applied Track for counselors, therapists or psychologists
• the Alcohol/Drug Studies Track for alcohol and drug counseling
• the General Experimental Track for the research aspect of psychology

All Psychology students will:

• examine how age affects our abilities
• study how experiences shape our mentality
• grow to recognize the vast diversity of behavioral traits
• learn how things such as drugs, hormone levels, and sleep influence the way we behave
• investigate how we process and store information, using both our senses and our memory
• develop an effective method of translating their psychological knowledge and skills within their professional environment, as well as formulating easy explanations for your patients to comprehend

By the time you leave Chowan University, students will know how
to make solid, informed judgments that might significantly change society one person at a time!
