What is Applied Psychology?
Applied Psychology combines a solid
liberal arts background with an understanding of human
behavior in the workplace and the strong communication,
problem solving, analysis, and business skills that
employers need. You’ll graduate with a good
background for a number of business and administrative
careers including recruitment, placement, benefits
administration, public affairs, government, training,
human resources or career development.

Go beyond Freud’s leather couch
and Pavlov’s dog.
To be successful, today’s Psychology major
needs to combine an understanding of human behavior and the social
sciences with the business fundamentals needed for entry into
a professional setting.
That’s what’s different about this
program -- we train you to start a career. Understanding why humans
behave, think, and feel as we do is a task that has engaged scholars
for centuries and continues to dominate scientific and social
debate. But today’s scientific study of behavior goes beyond
psychotherapy or clinical work, with nearly half of all psychology
graduates working in other settings.
That’s why Champlain's Applied
Psychology program combines the scientific study
with an understanding of behavior in the workplace.
This exciting new major will prepare bachelor degree
graduates to use their education and internship
experiences in a wide variety of non-clinical settings.
*** Only a handful of colleges
in the U.S. offer this interdisciplinary undergraduate
degree, and Champlain College offers the first such
program in Vermont.***
