Through the study of Psychology, students learn to evaluate and understand behavior and experience. This knowledge is personally valuable and provides a base for a variety of professions in education, research, business, and clinical settings.

The undergraduate program gives an overview of the discipline and a foundation for graduate study. Within the program, students have many opportunities to pursue those aspects of psychology they find most interesting.
