Business Psychology Major | MidAmerica Nazarene University

BUSINESS PSYCHOLOGY is the study of the relationship between the people in an organization and its operations and finances.

About the Program

Nothing impacts the bottom line of an organization more than its people. With a business psychology degree, you'll gain the skills needed to work effectively in the management and structure of human organizations, employee engagement and the development of human resources.

YOU WILL LEARN

Blending behavioral science and business courses, business psychology prepares you to understand the unique differences among people and how that can impact business effectiveness. You will be well prepared for further graduate study.
