The Psychology major offers students a chance to study why people
act, think, and feel as they do. This comprehensive undergraduate program
has been designed in accordance with the guidelines of the American
Psychological Association. Three tracks are available within the major
which enable students to choose a curriculum that is most compatible
with their interests and career goals. The three tracks are:
-
Bachelor of Arts -General: This is an ail-purpose degree
track which has been especially designed for students who are interested
in careers or graduate study outside the area of Psychology, e.g.,
students considering law school, secondary education, or employment
in marketing or sales. This option is less rigorous than the other
tracks so that students can use electives and minors to design an
undergraduate degree specific to their own interest.
-
Bachelor of Arts -Applied: This track is designed for students
who intend to move from college to direct employment in an area of
psychology without doing graduate work. This track emphasizes basic
content and skills relevant to entry-level placements in the field
of social and psychological services, e.g., entry-level positions
in counseling, advising, and case management. Students in this track
are required to undertake a supervised cooperative education placement
which provides hands-on experience and enables the student to apply
theory learned in the classroom to real-life situations.
-
Bachelor of Science: This track is designed for the student
considering graduate education in psychology with the intent of pursuing
a career in Experimental Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology,
or Counseling Psychology. The track emphasizes research skills and
includes additional science courses as well as experience in research
design and methods. Students in this track are well prepared for graduate
work and are encouraged to pursue activities and research that will
enhance their graduate potential.
