Additional information

Degree Overview

This Pschology major engages in the scientific study of behavior by exploring the human mind. The curriculum is strengthened by research into individual and social problems. Core coursework encompasses statistics, biology and human behavior alongside practical experience in the lab or the field. Either the B.A. or B.S. degree is appropriate for students planning to pursue graduate study in psychology, and also for students planning other careers in which a background in psychology is useful (e.g., medicine, business, communications, social services or law).

Study Reasons

Work side-by-side with faculty and graduate students on cutting-edge research, exploring topics such as substance use, autism, ADHD, romantic relationships, prejudice, memory and decision-making.

Take part in the SPARC summer research experience, a seven-week program in which students from underrepresented groups work closely with faculty and graduate student mentors on an original research project.
