Overview Why Study Discover University

Degree Overview

This Pschology major explore the human mind by engaging in the scientific study of behavior. Students in the psychology program enjoy a robust curriculum strengthened by research into individual and social problems. Core coursework encompasses chemistry, biology, anthropology and more, 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).
The B.S. degree is an option for students who are interested in taking significantly more physical and laboratory science classes than are required for the B.A. degree.
