What You’ll Study
Are you curious about understanding human behavior — how we think, interact, learn, and change — or do you have a passion for connecting with others? The psychology degree will prepare you for careers in a variety of fields involving human interaction, and it challenges students by teaching research, communication, and critical thinking skills.
Our students build these flexible skill sets through experiences and internships at counseling centers, schools, research facilities, and law enforcement. Committed professors will also help you navigate your future, giving you the guidance and support you need to make informed decisions about the career path that’s right for you.
