UTSA Department of Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Students learn to apply the principles and methods of science to a broad range of topics, including memory, sensation, perception, learning, thought, motivation, emotion, human development, language, personality, abnormal behavior, psychotherapy, and social psychology.

In the fall of 2020, UTSA celebrates 25 years of the MS in Psychology program. In the last 25 years, more than 200 students received degrees and are working in fields like private practice, human resources, education, and more. We’ll feature some of these students all semester long as we celebrate this milestone.
