Psychology House

As a psychology student at Otterbein, you will be treated as an individual. You will have numerous opportunities for personal and professional development, working side-by-side with your professors. This is an excellent program for students who want to be involved and engaged in the classroom and beyond.

Each faculty member has a research laboratory in the Psychology Research Suites located east of the Campus Center. Students can work as research assistants as part of work study, or they may design and conduct their own independent research projects with the guidance of a faculty member. Many of these projects involve data collection in the Psychology Research Suites. All students in 1000 and 2000 level psychology courses are required to participate in research studies, and these studies also often take place in the Research Suites.

Towers Hall room 235 is the classroom dedicated for use by the Psychology Department and is used for many of our classes and labs. Students also use the room when running experiments or for small group meetings.
