Social Sciences
Psychology is a diverse field that encompasses the study of mind, brain, human and animal behavior, and social interactions. To answer these questions, psychologists engage in experimentation and case studies of both normal and abnormal populations (including animals!). The results of this work is applied in a variety of fields like education, business (e.g. human resources, marketing, management, etc.), law, medicine, and in other scientific disciplines, to name a few. Furthermore, clinical psychology concerns itself with psychotherapy and the treatment of psychological disorders. Psychology is distinct from psychiatry which is a area of medicine concerned primarily with mental illness. Here is a list of some specialty areas of psychology .
Psychology is an excellent skills-based major for any career. Traditional careers in psychology usually require some graduate level training (Master's or Doctoral degree) and include clinical work (psychotherapy, clinical social work, counseling, school psychology, psychological assessment/testing, etc.) and experimental work (academic, social, and industry research) among others. Bachelor's degrees in psychology make students well for graduate programs in education and law and careers in many areas: management, advertising, human resources, psychological testing, and some types of social work/social services work, among others.
