Bachelor in Psychology

Psychology examines the mind and behavior, drawing on biology, sociology, and philosophy to understand how individuals perceive, learn, and interact with others. Typical coursework spans cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, research methods, statistics, and an introduction to psychopathology, often supplemented by electives in areas such as health psychology or industrial-organizational psychology. Students learn both the theoretical foundations of the field and the empirical methods used to test psychological hypotheses. Graduates find work in human resources, education, social services, market research, and counseling-adjacent roles, while many pursue graduate study to qualify for licensed clinical or counseling practice. The degree also supports careers in organizational settings that value an understanding of human behavior and motivation.
