Psychology may be defined as the scientific study of the behavior of humans and animals. The goal of the Department of Psychology is to help students understand the history, methods, and philosophy of the differing approaches to the study of behavior. The Bachelor of Science degree (BS) is distinguished by its scientific emphasis. Students who complete the BS satisfy the degree requirements by taking courses that advance their study of human and animal behavior. Students will acquire knowledge and skill in research methods used by behavioral scientists. Visit the Psychology Department webpage for additional information. Students should also consult a Psychology Department faculty member for questions related to the major and continuing their education in the field of psychology. Free Electives should be selected within the student's area of interest, in consultation with a psychology department faculty member. Click on the Students tab of the Career Services webpage for major exploration information. Students should refer to their personalized Degree Evaluation provided by an advisor and to other university resources for additional university and college-specific policies.
