Psychology

Graduate with a solid foundation.

As a Butler Psychology major, you’ll be part of a department big enough to pursue research that matters, but also small enough to provide our students individual attention and mentoring from full-time faculty. And you’ll graduate with a great foundation in psychology. By department average, our seniors routinely score at the 90th percentile on the Major Field Test in Psychology, a national assessment of professional knowledge.

About two-thirds of Butler Psychology students apply to graduate or professional school, and more than 95 percent of them are accepted by at least one doctoral- or masters-level program. 

Our alumni hold successful careers in psychology, health care, law, and service-related professions such as pharmaceutical research and development, computer services, non-profit organizations, human resources, education, and advertising).
