The Department of Psychology offers a Bachelor of Arts degree for students interested in the scientific study of behavior.
Psychology is composed of many sub-areas.
The curriculum and courses offered in the department reflect this diversity and are designed to provide a well-rounded education in psychology. In developmental psychology, the student studies the patterns and causes of physical and behavioral changes that occur from conception through old age. In educational psychology, students investigate learning, teaching and evaluation in the classroom. This area is also valuable to any student interested in understanding physical and mental developmental and growth. In this area, the student learns about mental health, how it is demonstrated, what conditions promote or detract from it, and theories of personality that describe how individuals construct their responses to problems.
