The curriculum of the psychology major is designed to provide a working knowledge of factual and current theoretical information in the field. Content is balanced with the development of critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation of cultural diversity. The application of psychological principles is strongly encouraged through service learning, internship, and research opportunities.
The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. The degree requirements are designed with the latitude to prepare students interested in:
- Pursuing graduate work in psychology
- Embarking on a career in psychology or related area where a combination of analytic and human skills is applicable
- A liberal arts education in which psychology is a related and relevant major
Students should work closely with their major advisor to plan a program of study commensurate with their educational and vocational goals.
