What We Offer

We offer both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. We require each undergraduate and graduate major, through a rigorous and well-planned curriculum, to study and master the literature and methods of psychology. Curricular emphases are on fundamental conceptual knowledge, practical applications of both knowledge and skills, and theoretical considerations.

The psychology curriculum requires courses at elementary, intermediate and advanced levels, including courses with laboratory components. Options such as practica, seminars, individual faculty mentored research opportunities, and team research projects are available to majors. The curriculum also offers a wide range of course offerings covering the breadth of modern psychology. Many students majoring in psychology will go on to graduate study; others will find employment opportunities as personnel officers, case workers in welfare departments, probation officers, mental health technicians, teachers of early childhood education or in special education.
