Psychology is the study of human and animal behavior. It is a discipline that examines how we feel, perceive, think, learn and remember; what motivates us; and how we act in groups and societies.

Students interested in any career or academic path which has to do with people can benefit from knowledge of the factors influencing human behavior. Majors and Honours programs are available through the Psychology Department, which offers a wide range of courses in the areas of behavioural, cognitive, developmental, environmental, humanistic, personality, and social psychology.
