Psychology (B.S.)
The Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding human behavior within a global world view. At the bachelor's level, students build on their foundational knowledge of the variables affecting human behavior to examine both individual and collective dynamics. The program allows students choice in aligning upper-level electives with their aspirations for post-college employment or advanced education.
Core competencies, including critical thinking, effective written and oral communication, quantitative reasoning, information-literacy and field-based learning, are integrated in course objectives throughout the program.
Students will:
- differentiate and critically analyze biological, psychological, social, cultural and contextual constructs that provide an understanding of human behavior within a global world view, and communicate this knowledge effectively.
- compare and contrast theoretical assumptions in psychology and related disciplines.
- use computer technology, as well as quantitative and scientific reasoning, to function as informed consumers of behavioral science research.
- analyze human behavior using theories and concepts that focus on both individual dynamics and group and system dynamics.
- apply ethical principles that guide and inform the conduct of research and clinical practice.
- apply psychology concepts, principles, skills and methods.
