Through the study of psychology, students learn about the science of behavior and cognitive processes. Students learn both about topics within psychology (e.g., learning, perception, behavioral neuroscience, developmental processes, normal and abnormal processes), and they develop skills that are critical to the field of psychology, including critical reasoning and research skills.

The Psychology department offers four degrees, as well as a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis. Additional information about each of these, as well as information about the psychology minor and psychology concentration, can be found via the links on the left side of this page.
