Bacharelado em Psicologia

The psychology curriculum emphasizes the principles and applications of substantive psychological knowledge both as natural science and social science. The major and minor provide a broad background in psychology and offer students the opportunities, if desired, to pursue a specialization in an interesting area.

The field of psychology has been undergoing rapid change. New professional opportunities are constantly evolving. In response to this change, students may choose one of two concentrations to fulfill the requirements for a degree in psychology:

• General – Offers flexibility while ensuring that students have a broad understanding of the field and its applications. Students who plan to pursue teaching licensure or careers in areas other than psychology (e.g., youth ministry) may find this concentration appealing.
• Pre-professional – Prepares students for post-graduate education in psychology or related fields (e.g., occupational therapy). Students who pursue this concentration are required to demonstrate proficiency in research by completing an independent research project.
