The Psychology major is designed for students with a variety of career goals and interests and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The Pre-graduate School concentration is designed for students intending to apply for Ph.D. or master’s programs. A minor in Psychology is also available. In addition, the Department of Psychology offers a major and a minor in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The Industrial/Organizational Psychology major leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. Additional specialized minors are offered in Mental Health Services, Life Span Development, and Neuroscience.

The department also participates in the interdisciplinary Behavioral Research Minor .

A student with both a major and a specialty minor in the Department of Psychology cannot use the same coursework for more than one program. In no case can a single course be used to satisfy requirements in more than one program; for this reason, psychology majors cannot also choose the psychology minor.

Consultation with the assigned advisor is recommended before each registration..
