Welcome to the Psychology Department Web Site.

There are five full-time faculty and approximately 30 psychology majors graduate each year. The curriculum is small, but provides solid training in research and clinical skills and concepts. On a recent comprehensive psychology exam, constructed by the Educational Testing Service, Kalamazoo College psychology majors averaged better than 95% of students from other insitutions across the nation. Over two-thirds of psychology graduates go on to graduate from professional schools within five years of graduation. Recently graduates have been accepted in psychology programs at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Notre Dame University, University of Minnesota, Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, Yale University, University of Chicago, University of California-San Diego, Ohio State University and University of Cambridge, England.
