Bachelor of Science in Psychology

Psychology is a scientific field that studies behavior, social interactions, and the human mind. Psychologists not only seek to understand and explain how people think, act, and feel but they also seek to apply this information to a variety of issues that impact our daily functioning (e.g. mental health, physical health, performance enhancement, work productivity, self-help, motivation).

Our degree requires that students take a total of 50 credit hours (43 hours in psychology plus 7 hours in philosophy). We emphasize the American Psychological Association "scientist/practitioner" model so students are trained to think critically like a scientist but also apply our knowledge to a variety of issues. Our curriculum provides a firm foundation in critical thinking, research methods, statistics, and oral and written communication skills. Our smaller class sizes allow faculty to work more closely with each student as well as integrate more hands-on, interactive experiences in our classes. In addition, our degree ensures that you will graduate having not only depth but breadth when it comes to your background knowledge in psychology.
