B.A./B.S. in Psychology

Why are some people social butterflies while others shy away from unnecessary interactions with people? How do children bond with parents? How do we acquire language?

Explore emotions, social behavior, cognitive processes, abnormal behavior, and the brain through a major or minor in psychology at UW-Superior. Study the impact of biological and social factors and motives in regards to health, learning, emotions, and more. Examine how modern drugs influence the brain and behavior, and use critical thinking skills to analyze gender, interpersonal skills, psychology and society, the psychology of close relationships, and cross-cultural psychology.

Through a designated Academic Service-Learning course, you will learn through service to the community and take skills and knowledge from your course to benefit the community.

*The psychology major and minor are also available online.
