Psychology, the science of behavior and mental life, is an exciting field with many opportunities.  

Our mission is to teach our students the theories, research, and methodology used in psychology to describe, explain, predict, and change behavior and mental life.  We are committed to recognizing each student's potential and facilitating their critical thinking skills and intellectual growth.

You can take psychology classes at each MC campus—in Germantown, Rockville, and Takoma Park/Silver Spring.

Psychology courses lay a solid academic foundation for numerous majors and psychology coursework will prepare you for many jobs. A psychology degree prepares you with many skills employers value, such as critical and analytical thinking, research and writing skills, and interpersonal skills.

Whether you want to take a psychology class or prepare for a psychology bachelor’s degree, we are here to help. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your academic goals.
