Psychological Science Major (BS) and Minor
Why do people think, feel, and behave as they do? Psychology tries to answer these questions through the study of behavior and the mental and physical processes which underlie behavior. Psychology seeks to improve life through the practical application of research findings. We offer both a major and minor in psychology.
