UST Psychology Department Mission

Congruent with the Catholic, urban and liberal arts mission of the university, the Psychology Department fosters students' intellectual curiosity and facilitates their understanding of how psychology can be applied to enhance human welfare and social justice.  The department promotes faculty-student research collaboration and meaningful active learning opportunities, including community-based learning, inquiry-based pedagogy and study abroad courses.  In doing so, we prepare students for advance study in psychology, successful career choices and morally responsible citizenship.
