Goals of scientific psychology include an understanding of the sources and determinants of behavior so that accurate description, prediction and modification of such can be made. An understanding of psychology contributes to an increased ability to enjoy a full and meaningful life. Education: Major students in Psychology can select interdisciplinary programs individually tailored to satisfy interests in counseling, child and family, business, corrections, research and other areas where some specialization is desired at the bachelor level. For further information, or to develop such a program, students should contact an adviser in the department. Career Opportunities: Training in Psychology prepares individuals for both professional and non-professional careers. Psychology students are frequently found in nursing and other para-medical areas, counseling, sales, advertising, management and administration, government, military, and many other service related jobs. Professionally they go into law, medicine, teaching, counseling, and research. Most professional applications of psychology require further graduate study.
