Psychology is the study of how individuals think, behave, feel, and relate to others.  Because of its broad and fundamental nature, the psychology major prepares students for graduate study and/or careers in a wide range of people-oriented professions (e.g., psychology, medicine, law, business, communication, etc.).  Psychology majors learn about human behavior and gain the analytical and critical thinking skills that are highly-valued in the workforce.
