The student who majors in Psychology studies a variety of areas within the broader discipline in preparation for graduate school or post-baccalaureate employment. The Psychology major also is a popular choice for teacher licensure students, especially those in the K-6 program. Students begin with basic content courses that introduce the areas within the discipline and basic skills courses that introduce research methodology and data analysis. A series of non-lab, lab and elective courses permit students to tailor their major programs to their personal and professional goals. Students may earn up to 6 hours of credit for research or fieldwork. Students are encouraged to plan their curricula in consultation with Psychology faculty who can advise them regarding options, prerequisites and realistic career objectives.
