The B.S. in Psychology is designed to provide a knowledge base of current methods, content areas, and theories. It seeks to facilitate the development of intellectual skills and characteristics that enhance the student's lifelong personal and career success. The program begins with a general psychology course and includes courses in quantitative methods and experimental design.
Additional coursework is selected from a broad range of available courses.
Students are encouraged to pursue breadth across the areas of psychology, particularly when planning for advanced study in psychology. The Psychology minor may be used to support the student's major, to expand employment opportunities following graduation, or to provide recognition of study in a second academic area. A student who intends to major in psychology must register with the Department of Psychology. The student will be assigned to a faculty advisor and will consult with the advisor in choosing courses. You can also obtain admission information at the ODU web site.
