Psychology explores diverse phenomena across multiple levels of analysis with three primary objectives: to enhance comprehension of sensory, perceptual, cognitive, and emotional processes, to investigate the biological and evolutionary roots of behavior, and to examine how individuals and groups are socially perceived and evaluated. Those pursuing either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree complete core courses covering key sub-disciplines such as perception, cognition, developmental psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and social psychology. The curriculum includes quantitative methods training and offers specialized seminars and lab courses emphasizing research methodologies and cutting-edge techniques. Bachelor of Science candidates must additionally complete a research methods course, a laboratory component, and four science courses aligned with their chosen focus area. This Psychology program equips graduates for professional paths in research, academia, clinical practice, business, legal fields, and education.
