Why an Online Psychology Degree?
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. It develops theories
and discovers laws to understand, explain, predict, and change behavior. Students
in the online psychology program will develop the ability to express themselves in
oral and written form and to think critically about human behavior, including causes,
development, and outcomes. Also, students will gain a greater self-awareness, an understanding
of others, and some fundamental skills relevant to behavior change.
