Psychology Degree

The need for mental health support is recognized now more than ever. Psychologists study the human mind and behaviors and learn to apply that knowledge as a mental health care provider. The field of Psychology needs compassionate and insightful people who enjoy helping others achieve the best quality of life.

At Walsh, our Psychology degree focuses on several main areas within the psychology field. We take extra steps to prepare students for graduate work in counseling or research.
