Welcome to Psychology!
Have you ever wondered...
- Why you can vividly remember your tenth birthday party but not what you wore last Tuesday?
- If it's better to suppress thoughts of a painful break-up or to talk about it?
- Why some drugs, like nicotine and cocaine, are so addictive?
These are the kinds of questions psychology can help you answer!
Why major in psychology at Mount St. Mary’s College?

- The chance to double major or minor in another subject and still graduate in 4 years
