Flamedude,

CMC emphasizes on Economics and Government as subject areas. Within these programs, students enroll in various courses and create majors such as Economics-Accounting, Economics, PPE, Government, Economics-Government, Government IR and so on.

Culturally CMC has a politically active student body and focusses on entrepreneurship and leadership. The Psychology department at CMC is excellent and is no doubt an above average psychology dept. However, they tend to emphasize on organizational aspects and leadership more than clinical psychology. This does not go without saying that other areas are strong, but research opportunities are far greater in leadership study because of the Kravis Leadership Institute.
A significant number of CMC students major in Psychology. More commonly, however, a lot of students dual or double major in psychology with something else. Also, we have the Leadership sequence which is like a Psychology dual major in certain areas.
It is definitely not a back burner and is integral to CMC’s mission. Also, keeping in mind the recent donation from Robert Day, the future looks bright for the Psychology department. The Day Scholars Program will merge Economics, Finance and Organizational Psychology. The faculty is experienced and our class rooms are in a round table meeting format (Like a board room). Classes are very discussion oriented and require loads of reading before hand.
If its organizational psychology you like then this is one of the best places for it. KLI (Kravis Leadership Institute) is prominent in the field of leadership. The KLI also worked with Business Guru Peter Drucker.
