Program(s) Available: B.A., B.S., Minor
Are you interested in understanding human behavior, mental processes and how people think, act and feel? A psychology degree is highly valued by employers who are looking for analytical and reasoning skills.
Psychology majors explore the scientific study of a person’s thoughts and behaviors. Northwest faculty help students understand three core areas: scientific research methods that enhance critical thinking skills, evidence and claims knowledge; insight into an individual’s behavior, motives and thought processes; and the understanding of the biological and social factors that contribute to human development, cognitive skills, relationships and personality.
A Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in psychology is available at Northwest. A minor is required with both programs. View the 4-year plan or catalog for courses and more information.

“I chose Northwest because I wanted a place where I felt at home, even though I was away from home. I came to Northwest and completely fell in love with the campus and the people. At that moment, I just knew that’s where I was going to be.” — Estella Wesseh
