HISTORY
OF THE DEPARTMENT
Established
in the academic year 2003-2004, the Department of Psychology at Ethiraj college
(SELF-FUNDED) offers its students an unique opportunity to gain an in depth
insight into the various fields of psychology like-basic psychology, biological
psychology, applied social psychology, developmental psychology, statistics
and experimental psychology.Inputs on psychopathology and counselling skills
not only provide them a strong base in the diagnosis and management of abnormal
behavior but also helps then acquire valuable skills, which are needed to work
in clinical settings. In keeping with the growing and continuous need to equip
students with practical skills relevant in organizational and industrial settings
care has been taken to include information on areas like organizational behavior,
human resource development, marketing and consumer behavior and psychology of
advertising. The inclusion of the case study approach and the survey method
in a variety of areas aims to inculcate not only an effective research orientation,
or the ability to make an exhaustive study of a selected population but also
the ability to generalize ones skills in different work areas.
