| Overview |
Courses in psychology are designed to provide the student with an understanding of the complexity and diversity of human behavior and the context for understanding the behavior of the individual. The Charleston Metropolitan Campus of Webster University offers an upper-division degree-completion program in Psychology for adults with the equivalent of two or more years of previous college-level work.
