Why Study Biopsychology?

As our understanding of a biological basis for behavior grows, so does the demand for highly trained, behaviorally oriented scientists. Biopsychology is one of the fastest growing fields in psychology.

Biopsychology majors meet this demand by completing a program of study that integrates the natural sciences and the psychology of behavior.

The program is designed to prepare students for graduate work in biopsychology or entry into medical or veterinary school.
