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

The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Psychology 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.<\/p>\n

The structure of the program (non-concentration) 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 (non-concentration) 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

Students majoring in Psychology may choose to complete a concentration, which provides depth and breadth of knowledge in a particular area of Psychology. Students who pursue the Pre-Counseling Concentration do not need to earn a minor.<\/p>\n

Pre-Counseling Concentration<\/strong>: This concentration is recommended for those who are interested in pursuing bachelor-level careers in the counseling and\/or helping profession. This concentration also provides the foundation for those who are interested in pursuing a master’s degree in a counseling related field such as Clinical Mental Health, School Counseling, and Social Work.<\/p>\n

The following concentration courses must be completed at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½: PSYC 131, 234, 360, 370, 377, 448, 461, 464, 493, and 494.<\/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

Available Minors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Students who are not majoring in Psychology may complete a minor in the field by earning 21 semester hours of credit as follows: PSYC 101; 204 or 211; 208 or 301 or 302 or 402, and 12 hours of electives in Psychology. A minimum grade of C is required in each course for a minor.<\/p>\n
