Students study various aspects of Social Psychology from a multidisciplinary perspective to gain an understanding of how individuals behave and psychologically thrive, how small groups and communities interact, and how societies form practices and priorities. Students will learn how to locate themselves in the complex fabrics of their cultures, their geographies and their power relationships. This program is ideal for students who are interested in many social science perspectives on how people develop over the lifespan, how they behave in different environmental contexts, and how psychological health plays a role in these dynamics.
Students are responsible for ensuring that they have successfully completed any prerequisite courses and are strongly encouraged to consult with an academic advisor in planning their course of studies.
