Program Description
Our undergraduate minor program takes the concept of Psychology as a “hub science” as a foundation. This conception of our field emphasizes the breadth within our field and the multi-disciplinary connections between our field and other arenas. Psychologists study human behavior with the goals of (1) understanding how people and function in their respective natural worlds; (2) building a science of behavior based on that understanding, and (3) understanding, predicting, and alleviating behavioral and psychological maladjustment. Psychology is one of the broadest fields of academic study and practical application. Some branches of Psychology deal with personal behaviors, such as a single individual's mental life and personal development, while other branches deal with more abstract and philosophical issues such as the nature of knowledge and how that knowledge depends on individual experience and on biological variables.
