Psychology
Studying behavioral science develops your ability to think scientifically about human behavior, develop insight into your own and others' thoughts and behaviors, and implement that knowledge in your personal and occupational pursuits. Exploring behavioral science can take you beyond cultural and geographic boundaries, inspire your critical and creative thinking, and give you the necessary knowledge and skills to solve human problems humanely and scientifically. By blending several disciplines, the behavioral sciences offer a broad understanding of the human condition.
英雄联盟博彩竞猜's courses cover all the basics of human psychology across the lifespan.

Opportunities to develop critical thinking, understand the scientific method and develop as student-researchers are incorporated throughout the program.
