Overview

Understanding how people think, feel, and act is fundamental to everything we do. Regardless of what career field you enter, studying psychology will serve you well.

Some psychologists examine human behavior in areas such as cognition, emotion, and social processes; others provide mental health services in clinical and educational settings. This broad field intersects with numerous disciplines including health care, education, law, and business.
