Explore the complexity of the human mind and brain through science, research, and real-world experience. At Emmanuel College, psychology and neuroscience are immersive disciplines rooted in the scientific study of behavior, cognition, memory, motivation, and brain function. Students gain a strong liberal arts foundation alongside specialized training in their chosen major.
The psychology major—with concentrations in counseling & health and developmental psychology—prepares you to understand the full spectrum of mental and emotional experience, from theory to therapeutic practice. The neuroscience major offers an interdisciplinary approach to brain science, drawing from biology, chemistry, and psychology, with flexible electives that support a wide range of interests.
Both programs emphasize experiential learning through faculty-led research, internships, and collaborative projects in Boston’s hospitals, medical centers, and human services organizations. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in healthcare, research, education, and advanced degree programs in psychology, neuroscience or related fields.
