Psychological Science

The CMC Psychological Science curriculum prepares students to use psychological concepts and methods in everyday life. Students receive a broad knowledge and hands-on experiences in applied, professional, and scientific psychology. Consistent with CMC's emphasis on public affairs, courses emphasize the application of psychology to current social issues. Interdisciplinary sequences in Leadership, Data Science, Legal Studies, and Neuroscience allow students to integrate Psychological Science with other majors (i.e, Economics, Government, and the biological sciences) so that they can develop expertise to expand their career options. 

As part of The Claremont Colleges, faculty and students have access to the combined resources of the colleges located in Claremont, California. We encourage students to work closely with faculty members. If you think a major in Psychological Science might be right for you, come talk with our stellar faculty!
