Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

While we offer some online class options, we are an in-person program.

Our major has changed. New students must follow the new major. Students enrolled AY21-22 and earlier can choose either major pathway.

Beginning Fall 2022, there is a single pathway for our major (click here).

For students enrolled AY21-22 or earlier, there are two program pathways for the BA in Psychology. The PDF icon Graduate Study Preparation Pathway is for those wishing to attend graduate school after the BA or those who desire more rigorous work in statistics and research methods. PDF icon The General Psychology Pathway is for students who wish to seek a career after they complete the Bachelor’s Degree.
