Psychology

 The B.A. in Psychology program is housed in the Division of Applied Behavioral Sciences. The program provides students with broad exposure to the theoretical, methodological, quantitative and applied aspects of psychology. The program enables students to prepare for admission to graduate school and build skills necessary for careers in psychology and related fields. Faculty members have a wide variety of research interests and professional skills in counseling, behavioral neuroscience, social psychology, cognitive psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and research methods and data analysis. As part of the program, all students complete a signature capstone experience under the direction of a faculty member, either an in-depth, student-generated research project or a psychology-based internship. In addition, undergraduate students and faculty members frequently engage in collaborative research teams in the Wagman Applied Psychology Laboratory. The undergraduate program sponsors a local chapter of Psi Chi, the international honor society in psychology.
