Bachelor of Science in Psychology

As a psychology major, youll gain familiarity with current knowledge about the important determinants of human behavior and with the methods used to expand that knowledge, while developing critical thinking skills. You can choose to concentrate in behavioral and evolutionary neuroscience, perception, cognition and development, or social and personality psychology. Students pursuing a Psychology major gain an understanding of Psychological Science broadly, and the range of processes that enable people, animals, as well as machines and forms of artificial intelligence, to make sense of, navigate, and respond to their social and physical environments. Majors learn theoretical and empirical foundations from biological (e.g., neural, endocrine, genetic), cognitive (e.g., learning, memory, perception), developmental (e.g., social and language development, aging), and social perspectives (e.g., judgments, attributions, relationships), as well as methodological and statistical approaches.
