PSYCHOLOGY The purpose of the Department of Psychology Is to help the student integrate with other knowledge all the understanding which modern psychology can offer toward a clearer view of man. This department provides students who are seeking teacher certi- fication with appropriate courses in introductory and child psychology. The psychology major is instruc- ted in experimental, abnormal, social, and child psychology. Upon completion of these courses, he is well prepared to enter a professional or graduate position, and to take his place in this increasingly complex society.

Freshmen and sophomores are introduced to the language and cultures of either France, Germany, Russia, Spain, or Greece. The foreign language major comes to develop a deep understand- ing of not only the technical aspects of other languages but a deeper cog- nition of the cultural and literary aspects of other nations and societies. The student majoring in foreign language has an oportunity to obtain first- hand knowledge of his particular language through the MacMurray Junior Summer Abroad Program.
