Department Overview: Psychology is the scientific study of individual human behavior and mental processes. As a discipline, psychology uses scientific research methodology to understand the physiological, cognitive, and social processes that influence behavior. Scientific research methods assist psychologists in evaluating behavioral data and solving human problems such as those associated with development over the life span, brain functioning, learning, memory, psychopathology, and personality.

Students pursuing this degree should meet with an academic advisor at WWCC and an advisor at their intended baccalaureate institution to determine an appropriate educational plan.(See AA-DTA in Degrees section of catalog).
