BA/BS Psychology

The Psychology department seeks to create an equitable and inclusive environment that encourages scholastic and personal growth among faculty and students. Our programs are designed to expose you to the various perspectives that make up modern, academic psychology: historical and theoretical perspectives; psychological development; and social, multicultural, clinical, cognitive and biological approaches.

Undergraduate courses are taught by faculty and graduate students accomplished in both theoretical and empirical research. Our goal is to educate undergraduates in the scientific basis of psychological knowledge and expose students to the many ways that knowledge is applied in everyday life.

You'll learn the many ways knowledge is applied to everyday life through the scientific study of emotions, thinking and behavior. The rigorous curriculum examines:

• The history of psychology, the behavior of certain groups while learning the basic experimental procedures and techniques for interacting with patients or clients
• Human relationships
• Learning and memory
• Mental illness
• People's adjustment to different environments
• Personality development
