Psychologists study human behavior and the mental processes related to that behavior.
Psychologists strive to understand all aspects of human behavior, including cognition, neuropsychology, human development, social psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, school psychology, counseling, clinical, and community psychology, and health psychology. Psychologists engage in a range of activities. Some psychologists are counselors, some engage in testing, research, or administration within an educational setting, others are employed in hospitals, mental health clinics, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and other health facilities. Our department is sensitive to the needs of students who wish to go on to graduate school and is now in the process of initiating programs that will more directly address the needs of students who are seeking employment after their bachelor's degree. Therefore, we are very strong in providing a rigorous curriculum to our students.
