Psychology is a broad field and complements several majors, including health science, criminal justice, social work, business, and education. It is also a practical field and highly valued by potential employers because it provides students (potential employees) with the ability to find needed information (research skills), the ability to think critically about different options (critical thinking skills), and the ability to consider differing perspectives (diversity skills).
