Psychology is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of behavior. Courses are designed to give students academic preparation in several areas of Psychology while concurrently providing material that can be usefully applied to their own lives.
TRANSFER MAJOR REQUIREMENTS in Psychology are available in the Counseling Center. Students should consult a counselor and the appropriate college catalog for other transfer requirements.
