Psychology Major
Psychology is the study of how people think, act, react and interact. Psychology is concerned with all aspects of behavior, thought, feeling and motivation. Grounded in the conviction that mind, emotions and behavior must be studied using statistical and scientific methods, psychology is a highly respected and socially useful discipline.
As a psychology student, you will study important topics such as the similarities and differences between men and women, racial and ethnic diversity, biological bases of behavior, marriage and divorce, intelligence, psychopathology, obesity and dieting, and the effects of psychoactive drugs.
