Preparing students for careers in the helping professions and readying them to pursue advanced degrees.
The Psychology Department offers two undergraduate degrees (B.A. and B.S.) and a minor in psychology. The B.A. program offers a broad background on the subject, while the B.S. program is designed for close study of specialized areas. We also offer a multidisciplinary minor in Aging.
With class sizes of between 12 and 30 students, psychology majors have the opportunity to get to know faculty members. In addition, every each declared student is matched with a faculty adviser based on academic interests and career goals.
Our department provides undergraduates with opportunities usually only offered to graduate students. Internships, student organizations, and advanced research projects help prepare our students for graduate school and rewarding career opportunities.
"The faculty makes the undergraduate experience rich, as they offer students one-on-one attention, guidance, and a passion for learning."
