Psychology

Dr. Trent Terrell, Chairperson

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and the mind. Course offerings in Psychology are designed to provide students with information which will promote an attitude of increased objectivity concerning the behavior, feelings, and attitudes of others and may also provide information about their own behavior. This objectivity and understanding is desirable in everyone but is especially desirable in those students planning a career involving work with other human beings. In addition to preparing students for entry-level positions in human services, the department also seeks to prepare students for graduate work in psychology.

Courses are offered for students who wish to take only one or two classes in Psychology as well as students who wish to major or minor in Psychology.
