Undergraduate Programs "I have had an extremely positive experience in Edgewood's psychology department. The faculty-student ratio allows for more one-on-one time with faculty in class... I especially like that professors foster a cooperative, not competitive, learning environment. This allows students to work together as opposed to against one another...My advisor has not only helped me pick out the classes I need, but has been there to discuss things such as internships and graduate school..." Maren Nordberg Psychology Major from Madison, WI The Psychology Major seeks to assist students in developing a critical knowledge of psychology as a science and psychology as a means to promote human welfare.
