Psychology Major

The Psychological Science major (PSYC) consists of a nine-course curriculum offering broad knowledge across sub-disciplines, including social, cognitive, developmental and clinical areas. Students learn the basic methods of inquiry for the field of psychology and apply this through various subfields, with choice as to the areas they pursue. The Psychological Science major allows for students to pursue additional coursework in Psychology and/or expand into related areas (Education, Sociology, Foreign Language, Art, etc.) with either a minor or dual major as suits their interests. The Psychological Science major provides students with hands-on learning experiences that add a real-world dimension to your education. The active learning opportunities include independent study, independent research and internships. These opportunities provide students with one-on-one experiences with faculty members and help to prepare students for the next step in their career.
