DEGREE PROGRAMS OFFERED BY THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT The Psychology Department at Sweet Briar offers a plan of study which
addresses mind and behavior from a scientific perspective. The subject matter of
psychology spans both the biological and the social sciences. The department offers
courses in major subdisciplines of this broad field, and encourages the student to develop
her scientific skills in the context of a liberal arts education. A student who elects
psychology as her major subject may earn either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of
Science degree. The Bachelor of Science degree is recommended for students planning
graduate study in Psychology because psychology graduate programs traditionally emphasize
research skills and experience and a strong math and science background.
