Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of human and animal behavior and mental processes, including cognition, emotion, sensation, perception and interaction.

Most people think of therapists when they think of psychologists. However, did you know that there are important, interesting jobs and research being done in fields as disparate as sports, forensics, educational and school psychology, neuroscience, business communication and marketing that all draw upon psychological research and applications? As the demographics of the US and the world become increasingly impacted by our aging population, developmental psychological principles will continue to capture greater social interest and funding for research. Diversity issues, technological revolutions, the changing nature of the economy and social structures all call for different ways of testing, more research, and greater understanding of how people live, think, feel and work in an ever-changing world.

Career opportunities for those with a Psychology degree are continuing to grow. If you plan to pursue a career in Psychology, a degree beyond just a Bachelor of Arts is recommended.

In addition to a deep understanding of human behavior, your psychology courses will equip you with research, statistics, and writing skills, preparing you to enter a wide variety of career fields.
