Psychology is one of the most popular majors on campus and spans all aspects of life. A psychology degree helps you understand yourself and others better, which improves your ability to communicate, solve problems, and work together. These skills are necessary to navigate the differences we face in our jobs and life, no matter what field or job you are in.

"My criminal justice classes deal with a lot of the human brain, mental health and mindsets, which gives me a sneak peek into criminal cases and forensic psychology. It's interesting how you can analyze someone's behavior through a person's actions."
Newman School of Arts and Sciences, Psychology. Sydney Le
"My dad has been in law enforcement from the beginning of his career. And so he's somebody that I really look up to and I like what he does, and he's really inspired me to wanna help others out there and get involved in the community and protect and serve the community. And so for me, getting a degree in Psychology was a big like leap towards that goal that I wanted to give."
Newman School of Arts and Sciences, Psychology & Criminal Justice, Paige Roubideaux
