Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes. Psychologists seek to understand the complicated interactions underlying perception and personality, language development and understanding, emotion and motivation, society and self. You can study psychology through one of four concentrations: Industrial/Organizational Psychology prepares you to be a highly specialized problem-solver trained to investigate and analyze the crucial challenges facing people in the modern workplace. Clinical Psychology trains future clinicians, counselors, and social workers to apply their knowledge and expertise to care for the emotional well-being of individuals. For example, you may diagnose mental illness, design and help implement treatment plans, conduct psychotherapy, or recognize and correct maladaptive behaviors.PreMed/Biobehavioral Psychology studies the fundamental neural mechanisms and brain functions that form the basis of the concepts of mind, consciousness, and behavior. You examine the complicated relationships between the brain and the body. This concentration is especially designed if you’re interested in advanced degrees in healthcare, including psychiatry. General/Applied Psychology allows you to answer questions about human behavior and become involved in strategic problem-solving when it comes to clinical research, counseling, advertising, community planning, law, and more!
