Psychology

You will learn to recognize how people reason, perceive, motivate, learn, and relate while earning your degree in psychology. Choose from a behavioral neuroscience, industrial organizational psychology, or cognition and perception concentration. You will gain an ideal foundation for career options such as professional psychology and research and understand the people-related aspects of your future career or personal life path. Pursue an associate of arts (Lake Campus only), bachelor of arts, or bachelor of science degree. Or, you can add a minor to your existing major.
