The study of psychology asks why people think and behave the way they do. As a psychology major at Fresno Pacific University, you’ll examine people from scientific, religious, philosophical, physiological and socio-cultural perspectives. Whether you’re observing the application of behavioral principles with the animals at the Chaffee Zoo or practicing reflective listening in a mock counseling session, you’ll take a hands-on approach to learning how to help others. Learn from faculty with a range of clinical training and perspectives as you study human behavior and mental processes though applied theory. Take your studies beyond the classroom with research projects and field trips. Through the applied practicum, you’ll intern in the field of your choice to gain relevant work experience.
