Psychology

Psychology, the study of mental processes and behavior, is a broad and continually growing field of study. Though many students who pursue psychology are interested in becoming counselors or psychotherapists as a way to help people with their behavioral or emotional problems, the field of psychology is broad enough to encompass other interests. Much of psychology involves the application of the scientific method to questions about how the brain works, 人们是如何学习和记忆的, or how businesses select good employees.
