Psychology is the scientific approach to understanding human behavior. Psychology courses offered at Prairie State College (PSC) range from surveys introducing students to the basic principles associated with the study of psychology, to specialized courses that examine in detail topics that include physiology, sensation, perception, motivation, learning and memory, maturation, and development, personality, individual differences, social behavior, human sexuality, and abnormal behavior and its therapies.
