Department of Psychology Mission Statement

Through excellence in training in the science of psychology, the mission of the Department of Psychology at Weber State University is to facilitate students’ career aspirations and academic goals in the context of an undergraduate, Liberal Arts University*, and a department which values teaching and research. (revised 2-4-08)

*Liberal Arts refers to a broad-based education in a variety of disciplines whose emphasis is on understanding humanity from multiple perspectives (e.g. history, literature, philosophy, psychology) while developing the skills of critical thinking, analytical reasoning, oral and written communication and problem solving with the aim of developing an educated individual who respects diversity and accepts global responsibility. In an ever-changing world, liberal arts majors offer an opportunity for breadth and depth of study while producing flexible, well-rounded individuals with an understanding of life-long learning. It is our mission to develop and provide the necessary resources to advise effectively in this environment.
