BA Applied Psychology

Psychology is the most popular major in the College of Arts and Sciences, and for good reason. Three of our faculty have won the University's Distinguished Teacher Medal, another six have won Golden Dozen teaching awards from our Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and our Graduate Teaching Assistants have won numerous awards. The commitment of our department faculty to our undergraduate teaching program is revealed by our recent deepening and broadening of our required curriculum, the involvement of all faculty in undergraduate teaching, and the many opportunities provided for students to participate in research projects. Our faculty are almost all actively involved in funded research projects and students work shoulder to shoulder with us through our several Research Experience courses and our Honors Program. In all, ours is a rigorous major that provides the student with a broad survey of our very diverse field and the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in fields of specific interest.
