Psychology Degree Program Details

The Psychology degree is designed for the student who wishes to combine the psychology major with a strong sub concentration in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or physics. Optimal preparation for the B.S. program includes four years of high school mathematics and at least one course in the natural sciences. A Bachelor of Science in Psychology is excellent preparation for careers or graduate studies in animal behavior, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, health psychology, medicine, neuropsychology, perception, psychiatry, or veterinary medicine.

Students are actively involved in undergraduate research, which is excellent preparation for internships that lead to careers and graduate study. Each year, students join faculty at national conferences where the results of their collaborative research are presented. Students who are considering a major in Psychology should contact the department chair to learn more about the program.
