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. 

Departmental Regulations

The major requires a minimum of 43 semester hours, of which a minimum of 26 semester hours must be taken from the Required Breadth Courses (see Required Breadth Courses for all majors below).
