Welcome to the psychology major! Psychology
is one of the most popular majors at UGA, and offers students
a broad, scientifically-based education applicable to a wide variety
of careers. Psychology is a field that studies processes areas
as diverse as clinical behavior problems, child development, workplace
violence, self-esteem, the effect of nutrition on vision, racial
prejudice, memory, how people make decisions, anxiety disorders,
cognition in primates, and the effect of different drugs on neurotransmitters
in the brain. In fact, the UGA psychology department has faculty
members studying all of these types of issues, and many more!
