Coursework discussion, research participation, and Psychology Club membership are only a few of the ways students can become actively involved in learning psychology. There is a strong belief that participation enriches the college experience. The Psychology Program introduces you to the science and profession of psychology.
Psychology is a broad discipline covering much of the area between biology and sociology.
Courses dealing with the biological bases of behavior as well as the social underpinnings are found in the curriculum. The undergraduate program in psychology at Sam Houston State University culminates in the bachelor of science degree. A minor is also required. Since a career in psychology requires graduate work, the course requirements are oriented toward admission to graduate school. The undergraduate degree, however, is a useful and interesting program of study for liberal arts students.
