Psychology Major
Psychology is both a science and an applied profession. Psychology is
a broad discipline that deals with behavior and mental process.
Career opportunities work in counseling, personal, business, industry,
research and development, advertising, college teaching, medical settings,
basic research, criminal justice, and government. For those students
interested in becoming licensed psychologists or professional researchers,
the major is designed to prepare them for possible graduate training.
