Undergraduate Psychology Program

The Undergraduate Program is designed to provide students with a broad foundation in both content and hands-on experience in professional and scientific psychology. Students are encouraged to take courses across the following content areas of psychology represented in our department: Cognitive, Developmental, Clinical, Neuroscience, Social, and Quantitative approaches. Students may pursue either a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree or a minor in Psychology. A Cognitive Neuroscience Specialty degree is also offered in conjunction with the Biological Sciences Department (link to Cognitive Neurosciences degree requirements).

Faculty research and teaching interests include social, emotional and cognitive development, emotion and cognition, memory, neuroscience, evolution, child and family therapy, tests and measurements, and coping/trauma. In addition to course requirements, students are encouraged to participate in faculty research labs, and specialized options for clinical internships and independent study.

Undergraduate students are a vital part of our department, and we encourage them to take advantage of the many opportunities we offer. For additional information about the undergraduate psychology program and special opportunities for undergraduate students see the Undergraduate Handbook.
