Why I love my program
I love that my program reflects and represents what psychology looks like out in the real world. The program can be tailored to your interests and curiousities, which allows each student to pursue psychology in a way that is unique. This program allows for interactions with other fields like biology and business which helps prepare students to apply their knowledge in the real-world. The program nurtures curiosity while sharpening the tools we need to achieve our goals.
