Psychology is the discipline which, through scientific study, endeavors to achieve the goals of observation, description, understanding, prediction and control of behavior and psychological processes. Topical areas of inquiry include: human development, personality theory, neuroscience, learning, memory and cognition, motivation and emotion, sensation and perception, interpersonal relationships, personal adjustment, abnormal behavior and psychotherapy. Behaviorism, social learning theory, cognitivism, humanism, existentialism, neuroscience and psychodynamics comprise the theoretical paradigms most emphasized over the course of studies. Because knowledge of behavior and psychological processes are important to all fields of study, persons majoring in areas other than psychology should enroll in selected courses of interest. For the same reason, choosing psychology as a minor also is encouraged.
