Welcome to the GRCC Psychology Department

Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes.  There are many different areas which comprise the Science of Psychology, including:   brain and behavior relationships, human development, learning, memory, cognition, creativity, group dynamics, personality theories, and the identification and treatment of psychological disorders.  In addition, because Psychology is a scientific discipline, students of Psychology will develop a core understanding of the scientific method, including research design and skills necessary for critical analysis.  In addition to Psychology, our department also includes the academic disciplines Gerontology and Social Work.

Take a look using the navigation links to the left to meet our faculty and staff, explore our course offerings and degree programs, and learn more about any of these disciplines.  Find out what kind of career opportunities are available to you as a student of any of these areas.  If you are a current GRCC student, there is also a link that describes opportunities for assistance if you could use some additional help. If you have questions that you can’t find answers to here, don’t hesitate to contact us for additional information.
