The study of psychology is always a source of fascination to students. It is one area of knowledge in which they are, at the same time, the subject and object under investigation. It affords them the opportunity to delve into the "how" and "why" of human behavior.

By studying the complex behavior patterns as presented in the specialized courses listed in the Psychology Program of Study, students can intensively analyze each aspect of human behavior. Later, they synthesize these individualized areas of knowledge to form once again a comprehensive, organismic whole.

Courses in the Department of Psychology are designed to acquaint the student thoroughly with the content and methods of scientific psychology. In addition to the insights that psychology gives to the individual student in understanding man's behavior, this program provides a background for advanced studies in such fields as clinical psychology, social work, university research, teaching, vocational and educational guidance, medicine, law, and personnel work in business and industry. It is assumed that Psychology majors will pursue graduate studies to acquire positions in these professional fields and licensures as psychologists.
