Psychology is defined as “the science of behavior and mental processes,” which encompasses an array of specialty areas. Similarly, psychologists stand as the most diverse group of people in our society to share the same title.

The psychology department strives to give all its students a sense of the nature of psychology and its place in society. Its professors equip its students with an understanding of the scientific method and an ability to apply it in a variety of psychological contexts. The department provides its majors with a sense of the historical background of modern psychology and students interested in graduate study an adequate preparation to succeed in that study.
