OVERVIEW
Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of thinking, emotion, and behavior.
It is a diverse field, and can be applied to almost all aspects of
everyday life: interpersonal relationships, school and lifelong
learning, family, and the work environment. Psychology uses scientific
research methods to develop and test theories, and to explain or predict
behavior. Undergraduate study in psychology provides a broad coverage of
the field; whereas graduate study focuses more narrowly on a particular
discipline, preparing students for professional work as researchers
and/or
practitioners.
Communication Studies
Communication Studies is a social science discipline that considers how
people verbally and nonverbally communicate at the individual, societal,
and cultural levels. It can be seen as the discipline that links other
disciplines, a discipline that is vital if people, organizations, and
governments are to cope with today's complex world. Students with
degrees in Communication Studies pursue careers as communication
specialists in the fields of communication, education, business,
government and politics, high technology industries, health, and social
and human services. Graduates may also pursue advanced degrees in
communication and other fields. |
