The Department of Psychology offers two undergraduate programs designed to provide students with solid training in the realms of teaching, research, practice, service, and advocacy: The Bachelor of Arts, major in Psychology Program (AB Psychology) and the Bachelor of Science, major in Psychology Program (BS Psychology).
Both programs engage students in the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes and provide strong humanistic and research foundations in the essential theories, principles, applications, and methods in the study of human behavior. These programs prepare students to become licensed psychometricians. Both programs also train students for work in industry, government, non-government, school, and community settings.
Bachelor of Science, Major in Psychology
The Bachelor of Science major in Psychology Program (BS Psychology) prepares students for careers in the natural sciences, such as Medicine.
