Bachelor of Science in Psychology

The Course is typically a 4-year full-time program, but it can also be pursued in a part-time fashion under the advice of the school to complete the program in a longer time. The Psychology curriculum prepares students for a wide range of careers in the behavioral sciences or in related professions that involve working with people. Primary emphasis is placed on the applied dynamics of human behavior and relationships rather than on animal or laboratory psychology.
The major requirements and cognates are intended to provide a scientific base on which a balanced program of electives may be built in accordance with the individual needs and interests.
A student majoring in psychology must complete a minimum total of 40 semester credits in the major, 16 semester credits of the required cognates, and 48 semester credits of the general education program, and all baccalaureate degree requirements as outlined in the Bulletin.
