Psychology Minor

Michael Fox: this program was revised by the College Seante. Does it have all the approvals necessary to include it in the catalog?

Description

Psychology is the science of behavior. It covers the behavior of humans and animals, normal and abnormal behavior, and behavior across the life span. The field is concerned both with the development of principles of behavior and with their application to individuals, society and the institutions of government, business, and mental health.
