Psychology
College of Arts and Sciences
Students majoring in psychology study human behavior and mental process, as both the individual and group levels. This includes studying: The mind, the brain, human and animal social interactions and more. Through our wide range of courses and areas of focus: social, cognitive, abnormal, personality and developmental, students are prepared for a carer in a variety of human service settings.
All Senior Psychology students are required to complete a Senior Seminar Research Project. Students work with one another to design and implement research projects on topics of personal interest.
Students have been able to present their research at the Great Plains Psychology Conference, the Nebraska Psychological Society Conference, and Doane University’s Mind Expo.

I call Doane my second home because of all the friends I’ve made here, the small community and the welcoming environment.
