Psychology

Our program helps students think critically and compassionately about both applied and theoretical psychology, in areas such as human development, industrial organizational psychology, cognition, perception and personality. We will train you to see the relevance of psychology to the understanding of individual and social experience.

We closely examine the ethical principles and implications of psychological theory and practice. Through required courses and electives such as Introduction to Counseling and Therapy, Personality Psychology, and Cognition and Memory, students develop a keen understanding of normal and abnormal behavior.

Touro College Los Angeles, with separate men’s and women’s divisions, founded under the leadership of Dr. Esther Lowy, a"h, enrolled its first class in Fall 2005.

We give students the opportunity to combine Judaic studies with liberal arts and pre-professional courses in a supportive, Torah-observant environment. Currently, baccalaureate degree programs are offered in business, psychology and Judaic studies. The College’s Jewish atmosphere enhances Jewish identity and strengthens students’ self-esteem.

Every facet of the TCLA experience is designed to help Orthodox students thrive – from our innovative curriculum and schedule to our programs and personal support services.

Our student body is small and selective, and we cultivate an atmosphere of respect and genuine concern about each other’s well-being that lasts long after graduation.
