PSYCHOLOGY

The human mind is one of the most complicated and intriguing mysteries in today’s scientific world.

If you’re fascinated by understanding why people do the things that they do, you might consider majoring in psychology.

Grounded in scientific methods, psychology explores the big questions related to society and humankind. Psychology majors study how to predict, interpret and control behaviors, learning research methodology and how to formulate conclusions from results through observation and scientific analysis. As a bonus, psychology students also gain insight into the world around them and their own personal development—including motivations, values and strengths.
