Program Description
Psychology is the study of human and animal behavior and the biological, psychological, and social processes related to that behavior. The Bachelor’s degree in Psychology prepares students for a variety of professional careers related to human resources, personnel, counseling, and other people-oriented positions in human services, business, and industry. Additionally, the Bachelor’s degree provides excellent preparation for graduate training in such areas as clinical, counseling, industrial, experimental, cognitive, social, biological, health, developmental, and school psychology. The program also provides excellent preparation for students who intend to pursue professional training in medicine, physical or occupational therapy, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary science, or law.
