Psychology – Degrees and Sub Plans

BS-Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science-Psychology
Degree Requirements

The undergraduate plan in Behavioral Sciences leads to the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. This plan allows students to combine courses in anthropology, psychology and sociology according to their interests and goals. The philosophy behind this interdisciplinary approach is recognition that human behavior is too complex to be fully covered by one academic discipline. Students are assigned a faculty advisor upon admission to the plan; the faculty advisor works with the students to select appropriate courses.

MA-Master of Arts in Behavioral Sciences-Psychology
Degree Requirements

The graduate plan in Behavioral Sciences-Psychology leads to the Master of Arts (MA) degree. The plan is a vehicle for advanced study of human behavior. Although course work is taken primarily in psychology students are encouraged to take additional course work in other appropriate areas. Applicants should have strong undergraduate preparation in the behavioral sciences.

The Psychology area of Non-Clinical Study within the Behavior Sciences graduate program is not designed to prepare students to deliver clinical services (for this type of training, students should apply to professional programs), but depending on the plan, to deliver human services, teach in community colleges or for preparation for further graduate study.
