Psychology is the science that studies how individual people and animals behave.
To psychologists, behavior means not only actions, but also thoughts and feelings. Beyond its introductory course, the department offers classes in individual differences, biological, social, and learned bases of behavior. Psychology majors take courses in these areas and in methodology. Later they may participate in advanced theory, individual research, and practicum classes to prepare for graduate schools in psychology. To become a psychologist in clinical or industrial psychology requires a graduate degree beyond the bachelor's level.
