PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University awards the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Psychology to the student who completes the curriculum below. This curriculum is designed with two goals in mind: (1) to provide a strong liberal arts education which prepares students for a variety of careers and (2) to provide an adequate foundation of psychological knowledge and skills to those students who wish to pursue advanced degrees in psychology or related areas.<\/p>\n

A minimum grade of C is required in ENGL 101, 102; MATH 101, and all psychology courses used to fulfill requirements of the major. The structure of the program leading to a bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology is hierarchical i.e., many of the required courses are sequenced and must be completed in the appropriate order. PSYC 475 must be completed at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½. Each student majoring in psychology must complete requirements for a minor in another field. This minor must be selected from those described in the University Catalog<\/i>; the minor may not be selected from any area of teacher education.<\/p>\n

The Psychology Department offers graduate-level programs in school counseling, clinical mental health counseling, and school psychology. Additional information about these programs may be found in the Graduate Studies section of this Catalog<\/i>.<\/p>\n
