This non-AP level introductory course offers the same general introduction to psychology concepts as seen in AP Psychology but with a slightly more relaxed pace and depth. It is an excellent choice for students who are keen to explore an interest in the subject matter. Major topics of psychology include: Psychology’s early history to the present, neuroscience & behavioral genetics, sensation & perception, cognition, motivation & emotion, states of consciousness, learning, development, personality, research methods, social dynamics, psychological disorders, and therapeutic methods.

This course requires weekly engagement but is primarily asynchronous, allowing students to work around their school schedule. An optional synchronous meeting takes place one evening per week. Meeting times will be determined at the start of each term.
