With classes like Research Design and Research Statistics, you’ll learn to conceptualize problems, evaluate evidence, and apply the scientific method. You’ll also have the opportunity to take classes like Human Growth & Development, Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Industrial Psychology, Legal Psychology, Adolescent Psychology, and Health Psychology. You’ll also have the opportunity to take exciting seminars like The Psychology of Prejudice & Hate, Emotional Development, and Clinical Child Psychology. The psychology major also allows the flexibility for our majors to explore different minors or areas of interest like the minor in Child Advocacy here at AUM.

Outside of the classroom, psychology majors at AUM also have exciting experiential opportunities to work one-on-one with our faculty as part of one or more of our active research laboratories.
