What makes people tick?<\/h2>\n

Why do we think, feel, and act the way we do? How do childhood experiences shape who we become? Why do we help some people and ignore others?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re always curious about what\u2019s going on in people\u2019s heads \u2014 including your own \u2014 psychology might be the perfect path for you.<\/p>\n

What is Psychology?<\/h2>\n

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behavior \u2014 from how we develop as individuals to how we function in relationships and society. Psychologists ask big questions about memory, motivation, mental health, emotions, and decision-making to better understand what makes us human.<\/p>\n

As a psychology major, you\u2019ll learn how to analyze human behavior, understand thought patterns and emotions, and apply that knowledge to real-world situations \u2014 in the workplace, in relationships, and in your community. See the curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\n
