Bachelor in Psychology

Psychology examines human behavior, cognition, and emotion through both theoretical study and empirical research methods. Coursework typically covers developmental, social, cognitive, and clinical psychology, along with research methods, statistics, and psychological assessment. Students learn to design studies, analyze behavioral data, and apply psychological theory to real-world settings through coursework and supervised practice. Graduates commonly pursue careers in counseling, human resources, market research, education, and social services, or continue into graduate study toward licensure in clinical or organizational psychology.
