Psychology is a very diverse and exciting discipline, perhaps the most popular of all college courses. But, what is psychology? Psychology is the study of a wide range of behaviors and mental actions. Hence, psychology courses are required and useful for many different programs and professions.
Psychology courses at Century College focus on psychology as a scientific discipline. Most people think of psychologists as clinical therapists, and, of course, there are many such psychologists.
