Bachelor in Psychology

Psychology studies human behavior and mental processes using scientific methods, spanning individual cognition, development, and social interaction. Typical coursework includes general psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, abnormal psychology, and research methods and statistics, often complemented by introductory counseling or applied psychology electives. Students learn to critically evaluate psychological theories and studies, design basic research using appropriate methods, and apply psychological concepts to real-world behavior and organizational settings. Graduates commonly enter fields such as human resources, social services, education support, and market research, or proceed to graduate study toward licensure in clinical, counseling, or organizational psychology.
