As a Psychology major at NWU, you’ll study the most fascinating thing on the planet: the human mind. It’s about understanding how we behave. How we learn. How we make decisions and cope with their consequences.

NWU Psychology is also about how we serve. How we care for ourselves. Our families. Our neighbors. Our patients.

If the idea of understanding ideas makes you excited, then a NWU Psychology degree is for you. This is the campus for your curiosity. Your research. Your service. And your ideas.

The applicant must have a minimum GPA of 3.00 in all art classes at the time of the review. The B.F.A. Clearance will be held concurrently with the annual portfolio review that is required for art majors.
