Program Overview

It Helps to Understand

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind.

Psychology provides a dynamic working knowledge of the processes of the conscious and unconscious mind, the function of the brain and nervous system, and the complicated interactions underlying perception and personality, emotion and motivation, society and self.

A psychology minor complements all other disciplines as it aids in your ability to understand and work better with your team members and coworkers, your family and friends, and learn a bit about yourself as well.
