B.A. in Psychology

The general objectives of the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology are to present the scientific and professional aspects of psychology to the undergraduate majoring in this field and to provide service courses as electives for students throughout the university. Psychology majors may plan to apply the knowledge and skills provided by a broad psychology back-ground to many diverse employment opportunities which do not require graduate training. The department also offers coursework leading to the Master of Arts or the Master of Science in Psychology. Students intending to enroll in these programs or another graduate school will find the undergraduate program provides an excellent base for entry into graduate training. The Department has ten distinct goals that we intend for all psychology majors to achieve prior to graduation with their B.A. in Psychology. Students majoring in Psychology will have the opportunity to develop proficiency in: Knowledge of theory and empirical findings in psychology, Research methods in psychology, Application of psychological principles, Critical thinking skills in psychology, Information and technological literacy, Ethical standards in academic and professional settings, Career planning and development, Interpersonal skills. An appreciation of individual uniqueness and diversity, and A commitment to life- long learning in psychology.
