Psychology
B.A. in Psychology
Psychology is more than just the study of the human mind and behavior.
A Psychology degree can take many paths, from an exploration of child development, to studies of abnormal human behavior, to research in
neuroscience. Along the way, students are exposed to basic psychology
concepts, historical and current theories, and a rigorous training in
methodology and research.
The Bachelor of Arts program in Psychology prepares students for graduate
work in psychology, business, human services or law. Graduates enter into
career fields where knowledge of human behavior and motivation is valuable,
like human resources, marketing, sales and social services.
A unique feature of the B.A. degree program is the ability to tailor the
Psychology program to fit your career goals and objectives.
