The Siena Heights Psychology Program has consciously built into the program a three-pronged emphasis of:
• Theory and Content
• Research/Analytical
• Field Placement
“I always knew I wanted to do something for people because I couldn’t go to sleep at night not doing something good for people. That’s what I want to be known for, as someone who reached out a hand. All this started at Siena Heights.”

The Siena Heights Psychology Program has consciously built into the program a three-pronged emphasis of:
• Theory and Content
• Research/Analytical
• Field Placement
We have a strong research component built to develop quantitative, analytical skills. We believe very strongly theres a lot of benefit to that quantitative analytical emphasis just beyond the research side of things.
Field placement is not an option, its a requirement. We believe all of our students should be out in the field, out in the community really getting their sense what its like out there being a working professional.
We take a foundational approach to our program. If theres a solid foundation, we believe its got to come during these four years. We believe we provide that.
The Psychology program seeks to develop caring, analytical, and ethical individuals with a solid knowledge of the numerous and dynamic forces influencing human behavior.To accomplish this goal, students in psychology acquire a sound theoretical knowledge of the various aspects of human behavior, such as personality, social development, physical development, and abnormal behavior. The theoretical knowledge provides a foundation for the development of the students’ research projects which are completed their senior year. The internships provide the students with an opportunity to apply this knowledge in community settings outside of the classroom.
The Psychology program fully conforms with the guidelines established by the American Psychological Association for undergraduate education in psychology. These guidelines provide the means to assess our curriculum and insure that our course offerings are current and serve the needs of today’s students.
The knowledge and ability acquired in the classroom and through the internship, prepares students for employment or admission into graduate school. Many of our students continue on to complete advanced degrees in psychology. Our graduates report that the knowledge obtained from each of the program’s components were critical in securing employment and/or gaining admission into graduate school.
