Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes.
A psychology major learns about human behavior, preparing you for a career in health care, government, business, industry, research, education and more. Psychology majors share a desire to understand human nature and to have a positive impact on society. Our faculty and our students are involved in research that makes those desires a reality.
