The study of human behavior is a pathway to success in many fields.

Psychology majors become adept at research methods, data analysis and problem solving; they learn how to think critically and communicate effectively; and they learn how to apply social psychology concepts to everyday life and understand the complexities of human behavior. These skills can be applied to many occupations and disciplines.
