Psychology is the study of behavior, mental processes, emotions and their biological bases. Understanding self and others is a tremendously valuable tool that helps psychology majors prepare for careers in a broad variety of settings. These may include medicine, law and law enforcement, education, healthcare, youth services, business, architecture, engineering, wellness, sports, science, and research.

The Thomas University Psychology Department fosters a professional atmosphere of intellectual curiosity by encouraging students to examine the latest research trends within the field and to obtain firsthand practical experience alongside regional mental healthcare providers.

Many of our psychology baccalaureates have continued on to graduate-level study, while others have gained employment in the field immediately following graduation.

Thomas University offers two student-led organizations: the Psychology Club, which offers a university-wide discussion forum and Psi Chi Chapter 896, which has been part of the national honor society in psychology since 1996.
