Why should you consider a major in psychology?

Psychology is one of the most popular majors, both at UTK and nationally. Why? Because psychology is:

Fascinating – psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. What could be more interesting than understanding learning, aggression, prejudice, motivation, attraction, memory, diversity, development, emotion, mental illness, personality, and so on?

Relevant – because psychology covers the breadth and diversity of behavior and experience, you are certain to learn things you can apply to yourself, your relationships, and your work.

Useful – this psychological knowledge, combined with the skills you obtain in scientific inquiry and critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication make the psychology major one of the most versatile.

With a BA in Psychology from University of Tennessee Knoxville , you can enter careers in education, law enforcement, public relations, advertising, human services, research, and many more.
