Psychology studies the array of biological, environmental, and social influences on normal and abnormal behavior. Psychology studies behavior using both basic and applied scientific research strategies. The psychology major offers students the opportunity to learn about behavior as part of a general liberal arts degree applicable to a wide variety of careers and as preparation for an advanced degree in professional and graduate programs.
