"RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGE OF UNDERSTANDING AND HELPING PEOPLE."

The College of Psychology offers a curriculum that readies students for employment in the areas of Psychological and Clinical Assessment, Recruitment, Training, Human Resource Management, Counseling, Teaching and related fields; or for admission to a course in medicine. The curriculum focuses heavily on “hands-on” learning coupled with linkages with psychological organizations and industrial practices that help students to develop the necessary skills that would make them competent in the field that they may choose after they graduate.

The BS Psychology curriculum provides opportunities for learning the scientific principles of the different branches of Psychology.  Through linkages forged with external clinical, educational and industrial organizations, SISC graduates have the advantage in terms of employment opportunities.
