The science of psychology investigates human and animal behavior, cognition and emotion by analyzing the complex interactions among environmental, social, cultural and biological influences. Students are trained in scientific methods and different theoretical perspectives in a variety of areas of psychology: biopsychology, neuropsychology, sensation and perception, cognition, learning, child and adult development, social psychology, personality, health psychology, abnormal psychology, multicultural psychology and animal behavior. In short, psychology seeks to explain and understand how and why people and animals think and behave in the ways they do.
