The major in Psychology gives students a broad, general exposure to knowledge in the various aspects of psychology and to the methods psychologists use to conduct research.
Studies span the social and physiological influences on human and animal behavior.
Students develop and hone their analytical skills and the ability to recognize how surroundings affect behavior. The Psychology Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, leading directly to human services careers or on to graduate school and careers in college or university teaching and research or as a practicing professional in one of the several branches of psychology. The Department also offers an approved subject matter preparation program for the Multiple Subject teaching credential. Students have the opportunity to work with a professor on an important research project or may choose to develop their own research projects with the guidance of a professor. Either way, students have access to excellent physiological, cognitive, social-personality, and developmental research facilities.
