Have you ever wondered what causes people to behave the way they do? Has it ever crossed your mind why one person is just a little different than you? For those who want to understand these concepts and more, USM's Psychology program is the perfect fit for you.
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. But USM's Psychology program is much more than that. Our courses are taught by full-time experts in their fields-not graduate assistants. Plus, psychology at USM is career-focused. The program combines coursework with regular opportunities to put theory into practice so you not only get an education that expands your mind, but provides you with the skills necessary to succeed professionally. As juniors and seniors, psychology majors participate in practicum projects that offer hands-on learning with the mental health field, and are also great resume builders.
USM psychology graduates work in a variety of fields. While some jump into the mental health arena working in social services, others choose business, law and education. Most head on for post-secondary graduate study.

. Case Managers for public & private agencies
