Mission Statement:
Internationally recognized for over three decades, the Psychology Dept. at Duquesne University engages in the systematic and rigorous articulation of psychology as a human science.  The department understands psychology as a positive response to the challenges of the 21st Century – one which includes existentialism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis and depth psychology, feminism, critical theory, post-structuralism, and a sensitivity to the diverse cultural contexts within which this response may find expression.  Psychology as a human science pursues collaborative, qualitative research methods that pay special attention to what is particular to human beings and their worlds.  Accordingly, the department educates psychologists who are sensitive to the multiple meanings of human life and who work toward the liberation and well-being of persons individually as well as in community.
