Psychology

The Psychology bachelor’s degree prepares students for career opportunities.

Career Orientation

Preparation for a career should extend beyond the confines of coursework. Therefore, the faculty are committed to providing a meaningful context for that preparation. Four areas of enrichment are emphasized.

  • Advisement: A highly personalized information feedback and career counseling system whereby the student is encouraged to make appropriate use of his or her talents and abilities in planning his or her program of study.
  • Required Readings: A carefully constructed reading program intended to broaden interests, fill the gaps and generally enhance the student’s knowledge and understanding of psychology.
  • Colloquia: A series of lectures designed to bring the student "face to face" with experts in various fields of psychology. (See PSY 4001, PSY 4002, PSY 4003)
  • Internship/Practicum: An intensive, supervised fieldwork involvement geared to the student’s career interests in psychology. (See PSY 3450, PSY 4600)

Students interested in a particular career in Psychology should consult with their advisors before choosing their electives.
