Psychology
“I made the best decision of my life to pursue a degree in Psychology with a Sociology minor. I now assess work relationships in a different way. Through my courses, I have learned to be more accepting of people from all walks of life, and learned to appreciate the differences in people.”
Patricia Felts '11
