心理学文学学士

缅因大学的心理学专业旨在探索行为的科学认识，探索影响行为的各种因素-从分子到整个大脑，从感觉输入到推理，从遗传学到社会和文化影响。学生探索行为从婴儿期发展到老年的过程，以及将行为视为病理性行为意味着什么。尽管心理学的范围很广，但UMaine的心理学专业侧重于发展严格的科学推理技能（方法论，统计论和逻辑论证），为跨学科的批判性思维奠定了卓越的基础。为了进一步培养批判性思维和沟通能力，该心理学专业的最终经历是顶峰经历，在此过程中，学生可以应用，整合和扩展所学的知识基础，并将其扩展到感兴趣的特定主题。
The University of Maine's psychology major is designed to foster a scientific understanding of behavior by exploring the wide range of factors that shape it from molecules to the brain as a whole, from sensory input to reasoning, and from genetics to social and cultural influences. Students explore how behavior develops from infancy to old age and what it means for a behavior to be considered pathological. Although psychology is broad in scope, UMaine's psychology major is focused on developing rigorous scientific reasoning skills (methodological, statistical and logical argument), forming an exceptional foundation for critical thinking across disciplines. To further foster critical thinking and communication skills, the psychology major culminates in a capstone experience in which students apply, integrate and extend the base of knowledge they acquired to a specific topic of interest.
