Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
The undergraduate major in Psychology provides students with the opportunity to think as scientists about behavior and experience and develop the skills and values that reflect psychology as both a science and an applied field. In attempting to meet this goal, the program seeks to assist individuals by encouraging them to view themselves along the scientist-practitioner model. The program strives to prepare students for graduate training in psychology and counseling and a baccalaureate level career that draws on an understanding of human behavior and functioning. The curriculum is aligned with the 2006 American Psychological Association’s undergraduate psychology learning goals and provides many opportunities to gain the knowledge base, methods, values, skills, and applications in psychology; technological literacy; communication skills; socio-cultural and international awareness; and personal and professional growth.
