Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major in Psychology (5860)
The major in Psychology is designed for students who want to graduate with a bachelor’s degree and attend graduate or professional school or enter the workforce in a variety of applied areas, including mental health, drug rehabilitation, business, industry, or human resources. Following the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for ethical behavior is an essential part of training and education. Students are expected to follow the APA guidelines in all field work and research. If a student places the welfare of a patient, client, or research participant in jeopardy and is determined to be inappropriate or irresponsible, the student will be removed from the course, receive a failing grade for the course and additional disciplinary action may be taken (such as removal from the psychology program). | General Education | 38 hours | | Bachelor of Arts Requirements | 6-15 hours | | Major Core Requirements | 45 hours | | Minor | 15-18 hours | | Electives | 4-16 hours | | TOTAL | 120 hours | For more information about the Psychology major, please contact: Professor Brian A.
