Not really sure how tightly connected the soul is to the brain and conciousness in RWBY given that it is in someway physical (so that it can be manipulated). Who knows how the soul works and is connected to in RWBY. -If it is the study of living organisms, still does not fall into Biology. Penny itself falls into Robotics, and Artificial Inteligence. Since she must think like a person if they want her to develop a consciousness strong enough to use Aura effectively like a Person, Psychology is required as well.

-Psychology is the study of the Psyche. The Psyche is the human Mind, but it's also the Soul. For starters, without a Mind, it's the same as without a Soul: Only a mindless, lifeless husk would remain without either. Second of all, what do you need to have a consciousness, and thus to be able to use your Aura? A mind.

My point: Psychology is the most accurate field that could be used to describe the study of not just the Mind, or Psyche, or Soul, but also how to recreate it, and it's relation to Aura.
