Psychology is concerned with how people perceive, learn, feel, think, and interact with others.
The Psychology program approaches these areas from a research perspective, applying behavioral and physiological research methods to the study of the human mind. The result is a body of scientific theory and evidence which the psychology student has an opportunity to learn. Thus students will have laboratory experiences in addition to lectures, reading, and demonstrations. Psychology students learn to evaluate evidence relating to theories of social behavior, personality development, perception, memory, brain processes, and other facets of human experience. The undergraduate degree awarded through the Psychology program is a bachelor of arts.
