Psychology
Through coursework, research experience, internships and psychology club, UNI psychology students gain a broad understanding of human psychological processes. Learn how the brain controls our actions, how memory and language influence our thoughts, how emotions guide actions, how other people influence us, and how we can use psychology to improve human functioning. The psychology major prepares students for careers in human services, health care, education, and business.
