Degrees in Psychology

The Psychology Department offers a plan of study which addresses mind and behavior from a scientific perspective. The subject matter of psychology spans both the biological and social sciences (although over the past few years, the importance of the biological sciences has increased dramatically for all majors).

The department offers courses in the major sub-disciplines 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 a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree. A student may also minor in psychology.
