B.S. Psychology Major

This major will provide you with an understanding of the scientific discipline of psychology through exposure to the breadth of our discipline from its most basic level (e.g., neuroanatomy) to its most interactional level (e.g., socio-cultural). Your studies will develop your knowledge and skill in using the scientific method to both conduct research to understand mind and behavior, as well as, deliver clinical or consulting services from this empirical base. 

This major is designed for the student who seeks a Master's or Doctoral degree in Experimental (e.g., cognitive, learning, industrial-organizational, physiological, quantitative, social), or Clinical areas (e.g., school psychology, psychotherapy) of psychology. This degree is the preferred path to a career as a practitioner, researcher, or college professor. If you are interested in a career in counseling at the bachelor's or master's level you should pursue a Human Services degree.  The plan of study is listed below.

Psychology Minor Requirements

The minor in psychology is an excellent complement to many other majors (e.g., Athletic Training, Biology, Communications, Education, Fitness & Sport, Management, Marketing, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Political Science, Sociology). The minor is a combination of required and elective psychology courses designed to give you an overview of the discipline of psychology, and ground you in the use of research method and quantitative analysis. Elective coursework will allow you to select courses to tailor the minor to your needs.
