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. From the National Academic Advising Association
