Psychology, General BA

Within the BA in Psychology program, two tracks are available: General and Pre-Professional. The Pre-Professional track is designed for students planning a graduate degree. Whichever program students choose, they should consult with their advisors and classes should be chosen with occupational goals in mind. Students planning on graduate school should choose classes related to that area of specialization. For both options, 21 credits must be selected from courses numbered 300 or above.

Computer Policy
In the Behavioral Sciences, the computer is an indispensible tool for collecting and working with data, accessing scientific reports, and for writing and critical thinking. As a result, the Department of Behavioral Sciences requires students to have a laptop computer in order to meet the requirements of the curriculum. Students are responsible for maintaining their computer with the required software appropriate for the courses they are enrolled in as they progress through the curriculum. Use of the computer varies by course.
