PEO-3: To foster individuals who are interested in psychology, capable of critical and analytical thinking, and committed to lifelong learning by encouraging active participation in learning processes through diverse methods and practices.

PEO-4: As a primary aim of undergraduate education, to provide optimal academic and practical conditions for acquiring knowledge in different subfields of psychology, using scientific methods, developing analytical thinking, and gaining applied skills.

PEO-5: To educate individuals who possess the fundamental knowledge, methods, and skills required in psychology for academic or other career goals; who can evaluate human behavior from a multidimensional perspective; who can produce scientific and ethical solutions to encountered problems; and who aim for professional development and societal contribution.
