Psychology is the study of both normal and abnormal behavior, mental ability, perception, development and individual differences. In addition, psychological study explores human emotions, thoughts, and motives. Among the major sub-branches within psychology are educational psychology, social psychology, comparative psychology, psychometrics, developmental psychology, biopsychology, abnormal psychology, applied psychology, cognitive psychology, sports psychology, organizational psychology, school psychology, and the psychology of personality. Although assistant positions in psychology and a variety of business opportunities are available to those with a bachelor's degree, at least a master's degree is required for professional work involving testing and counseling. UNCG offers a BA in Psychology. For more information on the psychology major go to the department’s website.
