Psychology is the study of mental processes and human behavior. We investigate specific topics including memory, sensation, perception, thinking, language, intelligence, learning, consciousness, brain biology, the nervous system and others. Psychology courses consider how these impact us in our lives, at work, in relationships and as broad social groups. Psychology courses prepare students for continued coursework in a wide variety of discipline areas, including business, mental health, social services, criminal justice, law, the medical field, consulting, education and many others.
