Psychology is one of the most popular majors on the UW-River Falls campus. This popularity can be traced to several factors.

• First, the training psychology majors receive in research, theory, and application is valued by employers across a wide range of occupations. As a result, our majors find work in diverse careers.
• Second, the psychology department has a reputation for excellence in teaching and developing student-oriented programs. Examples of these programs include active internship opportunities, Psychology Society (a social organization), and Psi Chi (a national honorary program).
• Finally, the program provides an outstanding foundation for graduate work. As a result, a significant number of our majors pursue graduate work in psychology or related fields.

Requirements and course descriptions for the psychology major and minor are available in the Undergraduate Catalog.  Psychology is also one of the subject fields comprising the Broad Field Social Studies major.
