Why Study
Psychology?
Psychology uses principles of
behavior to address problems in such
diverse settings as industry,
government, health care and the
general community.
Psychology graduates may choose to
work in professions such as social
work, education, counseling,
medicine or management. They may
also enter fields such as human
resource management, crisis
intervention, sales and public
relations.
The program is designed to provide
students with a strong background in
the major fields of psychology, with
an emphasis on experimental design
and techniques.
