At the undergraduate level, the Department of Psychology offers degrees in Psychology (BS or BA) and in Social and Rehabilitation Services (BS)

The undergraduate degree in Psychology prepares students for entry level jobs in many areas of the discipline of psychology, or for advanced degrees in other professions.  Students preparing for graduate or professional school in other disciplines should consult the appropriate adviser to ensure that the program of study is congruent with the graduate or professional school to which they plan to apply.  Students majoring in Psychology must complete a minimum of thirty-four (34) semester hours of coursework in the Department of Psychology.  To receive the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, a student must also complete nine (9) hours of a foreign language.

Students pursuing a minor in psychology must complete PSY 110 and 15 hours of additional courses (300 level and above), with the exception of PSY 301, 462, 463, 492, 493, and 498.
