Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Although mental disorders and clinical treatments are a component of psychology, the field is considerably broader, encompassing child and adult development, underlying biological processes, social interactions, physical health, memory, cognition, and problem solving.
The Bachelor's degree in Psychology develops the skills required to assist people in improving their mental health. Students also gain knowledge and skills in many other fields, such as business and politics, and learning and education.
Psychology graduates are sought in fields like mental health casework statistics, probation and corrections, public relations, health education, social work, human resources, recreational therapy, education, and physician assistant, among others.
