Overview
A broad introduction to the major conceptual approaches, theories, principles and research domains of contemporary psychology. The five main areas of psychology are discussed: neuroscience, which is a study of the mind by looking at the brain; developmental, which investigates how people grow and learn; cognitive, which uses an information-processing or computational method to studying the mind; social, which examines how people act and interact in groups; and clinical, which focuses on mental illness and its treatments.

Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
