Course Description for Psychology:

This course reflects the study by two professors who are authorities in their fields. Daniel N. Robinson demonstrates that from the dawn of rigorous and self-critical inquiry in ancient Greece, reflections about human nature have been linked to the cultures from which they arose, and each definable historical age has added its own character and tone to this long tradition. Professor Fancher traces the evolution of this influential science through personal triumphs and disappointments of a fascinating gallery of individuals from Descartes, Gall, and Kant to James, Piaget, and Skinner.AIU’s Mission and Vision are founded upon the Declaration of Human Rights which specifies Education as a human right.
