The study of psychology and human relations has many fascinating branches and practical applications. At Pace University, undergraduate students have opportunities to explore both theoretical and applied psychology and to learn how these fields interface with virtually every profession. Psychology and human relations provide a strong foundation for career development. The Psychology and Human Relations majors involve programs that are distinct, but not mutually exclusive.
Students can choose between research-oriented and applied course work.
Both programs offer students opportunities to work closely with faculty to identify and focus on their particular areas of interest. The Psychology Major combines basic science courses with a focus on research to prepare students for graduate studies. The program includes a sequence in statistics and experimental psychology in which students learn fundamental research techniques and then conduct their own projects. At Pace, psychology majors have a great deal of flexibility in their choice of research topics. An annual Undergraduate Psychology Conference highlights student presentations of their research.
