Key Summary

About: The Psychology program dives into the scientific understanding of behavior and mental processes. You'll explore various psychological theories and practices through a mix of theoretical and practical approaches. The curriculum covers areas like cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, equipping you with essential skills to analyze human behavior.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue diverse careers such as clinical psychologist, counseling psychologist, or roles in education and human resources. Other paths include positions in research, social work, or organizational psychology. This program prepares you for further studies, including doctoral programs in psychology.

The psychology curriculum includes courses in statistics and research methodology, as well as social, cognitive, clinical, cross-cultural and developmental psychology. Students have opportunities for independent and lab-based work with faculty examining a wide range of subfields, from media psychology to gender to behavioral neuroscience and pharmacology. One thing that makes humans unique is our amazing capacity for language and complex symbol use. By the end of this course, you'll have gained a heightened awareness of just how complex language use really is, along with a richer appreciation of the far-reaching impact it has on our everyday lives.

Much of psychology investigates the problems facing human beings, but we’re coming to realize that a life devoid of the negative is not synonymous with a life well-lived. This course focuses on parts of life that help individuals and communities flourish, including emotions, character traits and institutions.
