Psychology
A bachelor's degree in psychology, the study of the complexity and intriguing qualities of human behavior, readies graduates for positions in a field that's yielding new and exciting career opportunities.
As a psychology major, you will develop the ability to think critically and analytically, communicate your ideas effectively, consider human behavior on a scientific level, and develop an appreciation for the nature of human similarity and diversity.
This universally recognized skill set is so valued that psychology courses are often required by other undergraduate programs: Management students learn about group processes, motivation and decision-making, for instance, while criminal justice students learn about personality types and the basis of abnormal behavior.
Whether you choose psychology as a major or as a complement to another program, you will acquire the knowledge, skills and breadth of understanding needed to open doors to career opportunities in such fields as mental health services, social science research, teaching, marketing and public relations, business administration, human resources, social work, and a host of others.
The major also serves as a rock-steady foundation from which to pursue graduate studies in pursuit of a career as a psychologist in social, development, forensic, or another area of psychology.
