Psychology Course Descriptions

The Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology in the Division of Extended Academic Programs will contribute to a student's general knowledge and prepare them to pursue advanced degrees in psychology or related disciplines. The program seeks to deliver its curriculum through an interactive and collaborative learning environment that provides its participants with a strong theoretical and scientific foundation in the field of psychology.

Students will select from two concentration areas: general psychology or industrial and organization psychology. A minor to complement the psychology major in another program is strongly recommended but not required.
