Bachelors in Psychology

The Department of Psychology offers five topic areas: cognitive, developmental, clinical, biological, and social. By focusing on these five areas, students develop a variety of skills that apply to educational, work, and community environments. Students learn about human thought and behavior, including developing research about memory, social interaction, deviant behavior, mental illness, clinical practice, and animal behavior. Pursuing a degree in Psychology requires students to investigate how human beings learn, remember, communicate, and interact; how they develop over the life span; how they adjust to change; and how they solve problems. The Psychology department provides internships, research opportunities, and an honors program. Students are encouraged to work with faculty on laboratory and field research.
