Psychology, BA/BS

Psychology courses teach you the principles, methods and theories to better understand human and animal behavior. Studying Psychology lets you earn a liberal arts degree, giving you flexibility instead of training for a specific job.

Typically, Psychology students tailor their coursework according to their future career paths, which generally fall into three categories: graduate studies, a career applying principles of psychology to human problems or a career in a non-related field.

In addition to BA and BS degrees, the Department of Psychology offers a Behavior Analysis Certificate Program. The certificate may be particularly valuable if you're interested in special education, drug and addiction research, animal training, impulsivity, promoting health, physical rehabilitation and muscle dynamics, or human or animal behavior.
