Psychology is the science of mind and behavior.
Neuroscience, perception, memory, personality, emotion, stress and health, abnormal behavior, and social relations are among the basic topics of psychological research. The discipline also involves the application of basic research to improve the quality of life and work. Clinical practice, school counseling, team work and leadership in organizations, and ergonomics in industry are among the many areas of applied psychology. The statistics and experimental psychology courses required of our majors prepare you to engage in undergraduate research in your junior or senior years. By collaborating with a faculty member on a research project, you will gain valuable experience for subsequent graduate studies in psychology and related fields or for employment.
