Psychology is the scientific study of the mind, and as such, we investigate the minds of humans and other species. Through gaining a fundamental understanding of the human mind, other goals will also be achieved: the skill to critically assess quantitative evidence from experimental and correlational data, to learn to take difficult and previously unstudied problems of mind and society and bring them under experimental scrutiny, to learn to speak and write about questions of theoretical and social importance that involve the mind.
The undergraduate program in Psychology offers a variety of pathways of study that reflect the diversity of interests our students have in psychology and related areas. Among these options are:
- General track
- Cognitive Neuroscience and Evolutionary Psychology Track (a Life Sciences initiative)
- Cognitive Science Track (a Mind, Brain and Behavior initiative)
- Secondary Field in Psychology
