Psychology studies behavior and mental processes. It's a science that seeks to answer basic questions about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while exploring connections to other areas of study such as medicine, philosophy, chemistry, biology, and the social sciences. Psychology reaches into multiple areas of human activity, from the workplace to schools, research hospitals to forensic investigation, as those trained in the field strive to understand and serve human needs.

The curriculum is arranged to provide familiarity with scientific bases of psychology for students preparing for careers in a variety of professions; the knowledge and skills necessary for graduate work in psychology; and the academic preparation and technical skills for students who plan to work in health-related, business and/or research settings after completing their undergraduate work.
