Biographical/Historical Note

The Department of Psychology began in the year 1904 as part of an extension from the philosophy courses being taught at the College. Since then, the department has greatly expanded to include multiple other disciplines such as the humanities and the social sciences as part of its curriculum. Courses are offered in the areas of animal neurophysiology, human language, and developmental and clinical psychology among many others. It co-teaches the Neuroscience program also offered at the College as part of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of human and animal physiological processes. The major includes ten courses and the minor six courses. Both independent study and Honors project proposals are available to qualified high achieving Bowdoin students in the department.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
