Description
Understanding how people think, perceive, and interact with others and with the world around them is a major component of the 21 st century world. The discipline of psychology – the scientific study of human mind and behavior – provides a core understanding of these areas, as well as how behavior is influenced by factors at the level of individuals and groups, including developmental factors and identities such as gender, culture, and disability status. Whether in its increasingly crucial role in innovations in health, technology, and consumer decision-making, or in its ever-present relevance to mental health and lives lived amid rapid societal change, psychology provides students with an evergreen toolbox of skills for navigating the contemporary world as human beings and business leaders.
