    An analysis of American political institutions and behavior.

  
  • PSYC 117 - Introduction to Psychology (3)


    An introduction to the systematic study of human cognition, emotion, and behavior with an emphasis on the scientific method. Fundamentals of behavior, learning, conditioning, development, cognitive processes, perception, emotion, personality, and psychopathology are among the content areas studied. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of the scientific method for the study of human nature. Students successfully completing the course will demonstrate a general understanding of the knowledge established in these areas, as well as the methods used by psychologists to acquire that knowledge.

  
  • PSYC 259 - Lifespan Development (3)


    A study of human development from the prenatal period through death. Cognitive, emotional, and social development are considered. Students who successfully complete the course will demonstrate their understanding of how physical, psychological, and social factors influence development, the research techniques used to study development, and the practical applications of developmental research. 

  
  • PSYC 416 - Abnormal Psychology (3)


    This course examines abnormal behavior and psychopathology including diagnoses, causes, and treatments. The role of society and culture in determining definitions of abnormal behavior and approaches to treatment is also addressed. Students successfully completing the course will be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the etiology, prevalence rates, and treatment of a variety of major psychological disorders and critically discuss social and cultural factors relevant to psychopathology. Knowledge of Psychology is recommended to be successful in this course.

  
  • SOCI 109 - Sociology (3)


    An introduction to the systematic study of society in terms of social organization, processes, institutions, and relationships.
