Overview

Why does chocolate make you happy? Why do we succumb to peer pressure? Why do some people develop addictions more easily than others? Why do you want to understand everyone around you more deeply?

Psychology is the scientific study of "why," or specifically, the examination of behavior and mental processes and their application to human welfare. It is a tremendously broad field spanning subject matter from the biological to social sciences.

Psychologists are commonly found working in conjunction with other professionals to contribute to every area of society. The Psychology major offers flexibility and can easily be added to another major.
