The program in psychology leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree and is designed to give the student an understanding of the methods and major findings in the science of behavior and mental processes. The major offers the background required for graduate work in psychology and also preparation for such related fields as social work, personnel work, advertising, medicine, law, and theology. The department also offers a minor in psychology.
An honors program has been developed to enrich the education of qualified psychology majors and assist such students in gaining entrance to graduate school by providing classroom and research experiences which will prepare them for work at the graduate level.
A track in applied psychology offers students a firm background in the science of psychology, preparation for nonclinical applications of psychology to the solution of human and social problems in private and public organizations, and preparation for graduate study in the applied area of psychology. The core for the track is the same as for the psychology major; coursework in applied psychology is provided by enrolling in appropriate psychology electives and a carefully designed concentration of courses outside the department.
All psychology majors are required to take a minor or a concentration in another discipline.
