BA in Psychology

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology offers excellent training in how to understand human behavior using scientifically rigorous methods. It reflects current trends in the field of psychology through its emphasis on the science of psychology (integrated via the research sequence) and through the inclusion of recent trends in psychological theory and practice (such as child psychopathology, environmental psychology, and legal psychology). Students focus in one of five key sub-disciplines: experimental, social, applied, personality/abnormal, or developmental. Students have a variety of opportunities to become directly involved in ongoing research, participate in our active student organizations, and conduct their own studies through our research labs.
