Bachelor of Science in Psychology
The B.S. degree in Psychology provides students with a broad view of the
field of psychology; its methods of study, its interaction with society and the various specialties of modern psychology. The psychology degree has many applications; some may wish to continue their studies in
graduate or professional schools of psychology, others may seek to use the psychology degree to enter the fields of law, education, or social work. Still others
study psychology to gain an understanding of people for later use in
management, labor relations, personnel administrator, teaching, public relations worker,
student activities officer, corrections officer, or in some other allied vocation. Many students enter
directly into psychology-related positions in such areas as rehabilitation or
human services.
Psychology provides a vehicle for personal development and an
avenue for pursuing a liberal arts education. The study of psychology will
broaden one's knowledge of people and their behavior and teach one how to study
behavior in a scientific way.
The Psychology degree addresses the general areas of developmental,
personality, social, cognitive, and abnormal psychology. It fosters the
development of verbal, quantitative, analytical, and technological
skills that are useful for work in psychology and related fields.
