Program Description Gain the diversity of knowledge today's employers are looking for by studying and specializing in not one, but two academic disciplines. Psychology Psychology at Trent Durham is the perfect fit for students who wish to develop a better understanding of how and why people act, think, and feel the way they do. You'll study the principles of psychology and a variety of specialized subjects ranging from personality, human development and abnormal psychology in your first two years, to advanced subjects such as gender, health, memory, dreams and dreaming, and atypical development studied in the latter half of your degree. Here, you can participate in research with leading experts in areas such as cognitive neuroscience, sexuality, dreams and dreaming, anxiety, health, development, mental health, language impairment, perception, and memory.
