Exploring the human experience.
How do human beings relate to their surroundings and the people around them? How does behavior affect the mental and emotional health of people, and how they relate to their environment and other humans?
Explore that and more by studying psychology.

You could work in a variety of settings, from hospitals and private practices to schools, corporations or community health organizations.
