Psychology is considered a science because, in all actuality, it fits the criterion.

According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method [and] concerned with the physical world."

Psychology often uses experiments and observation to discover correlations and relationships between two variables, it seeks to explain phenomenon via the scientific method of discovery and analysis, and it is advancing human society in medicine, commercial applications, and personal comfort and convenience. There's no real reason to say it isn't except that it is a very hard science to conduct. however, I must remind you that at one point, all Mendel had was a bunch of plants he grew, and he did "science," so psychology must be one as well.
Because it is an art of identifying a person's state of mind, if he is in a proper or normal thinking or not.It also includes the quantity of mind, which generally is the main reason of studying science.
Because we can test our hypotheses experimentally.
