Psychology students think critically about human behavior and psychological phenomena. Grounded strongly in research methods, courses cover interdisciplinary electives and four core clusters: basic biological and perceptual processes; development; learning, memory, and cognition; and social and clinical psychology.
Interdisciplinary Programs
The neuroscience major combines coursework in biology, chemistry, and psychology to build an understanding of the nature and function of the nervous system from the molecular to the behavioral level.
The minor in linguistics unlocks the principles of the most basic and universal of human symbol systems. Students will explore the very nature of language: how it is acquired, how it is used, and how it changes across time and space.
