Program Information

Psychology is the study of the remarkable, three-pound, gelatinous mass of fat and protein known as the human brain and how it engages in perception, cognition, emotion, and attitudes which guide behavior.

Courses in psychology focus on the individual person and the extent to which our behaviors depend on social relationships and structures in which people are embedded and the biological systems of which we are comprised. Courses serve as preparation for work in the field of psychology as well as careers in health care, law enforcement, education, social work, business, or public policy.
