About Psychological Science

Psychological science is a STEM discipline and a "hub science”—research in the discipline informs research in nearly all other disciplines. In exploring the science of the mind, we learn to interpret the world around us, while gaining insight into our own “inner lives."

Students in our major take foundational and advanced courses in a wide range of subjects including clinical, developmental, and social psychology and behavioral neuroscience. Students often combine a major in psychological science with minors in social work, human development, neuroscience and pharmacology. We’ll prepare you in both theory and practice for graduate study and work in clinical psychology, human and social services, and psychological research. In fact, the skills you develop in the program are in high demand in any profession.
