The 心理学 program will give students the tools needed to think critically about psychological concepts, whether as careful consumers of scientific information in everyday life, or as researchers creating new knowledge in a lab.
关于 the 心理学 集中区域
Our faculty and students study people and other animals (otters, 海豚, 狗, 海牛,+) using a variety of approaches such as neuroimaging, 面试, 调查, 实验干预, 测量生理, volunteering in our Child Care Center, 分析视频, 语言, and acoustic data– and more! By using these great tools we teach students how to design research and think creatively to answer intriguing questions about behavior and the natural world.
We also have partnerships within the college (e.g., our Biopsychology 和神经科学 programs) and outside the college (e.g., the Chicago Zoological Society’s 萨拉索塔 Dolphin Research Program, 主教博物馆, the Lemur Conservation 基金会, and others) to expand their learning options. Our students go on to a variety of great futures as social and mental health advocates, 医生, 律师, 兽医, researcher-scientists who earn their PhDs (alumnae/i write to tell us it’s usually “too easy” their first year), 实验室技术, 临床专业, 动物园和水族馆的专业人士, 电子游戏作家, 喜剧演员, Planned Parenthood administrators, 还有更多. They also make friends for life, perhaps because they spend so much time together in our bayside building.
“New College gives you the ability to decide what you want to do for an Independent Study Project on your own. To have a month dedicated to personalized research is not something you will find many places.”

Dance, Brain, and Parkinson’s
这种独特的, interdisciplinary seminar invites students with prior experience in Dance, 心理学, 和神经科学, to work directly with community members with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. Students will participate in therapy, 并测量其效果, while building relationships with community participants. Students must be comfortable working with community members, 参加舞蹈, and working on experimental research. Parkinson’s Disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder associated with aging. People with Parkinson’s experience difficulty with movement, including issues with initiation and control. Dance therapy has proven effective for restoring and improving function in some people with Parkinson’s Disease. However, the exact mechanisms driving this improvement are still not clear. In this interdisciplinary seminar, led by 心理学 professor Peter Cook, coordinated by Dance Instructor/Artists in Residence Leymis Bolaños Wilmott students will learn about the clinical signs and neurobiological underpinnings of Parkinson’s and the principles of dance therapy. All students will work with individuals with Parkinson’s, learning to implement therapeutic movement styles, and collecting empirical data about the effects of the treatments.
