Psychology (BA): General Psychology Concentration

Psychology (BA): Flexible and Focused. The Psychology degree is specifically oriented toward students who want a broad understanding of the problems psychologists solveand the scientific ways we attempt to solve them.泭We know your interests are diverse.泭That is why our curriculum requirements are sufficiently flexible for students to concentrate, if they wish, in another area of study alongside psychology.泭This helps you prepare for a variety of careers or professional programs.泭By making wise choices with your elective courses, you can acquire a basic background in the social sciences while simultaneously preparing for graduate training in medicine, law, business, or education.
