Exploring Human Behavior
Psychologists sort through the pieces of life's greatest puzzle—human behavior. Their goal is two-fold:
- to understand, explain and predict behavior; and
- to apply this knowledge in solving practical human problems.
In addition to providing a strong foundation for graduate studies in the field, a degree in psychology prepares you for a number of related career and graduate study fields such as child development, biology, communications, criminal justice, health care (including medical school), law, philosophy, theology and more. A major concentration in Disaster Response is also available for Psychology majors.
