In addition to coursework, the BS program in psychology with a concentration in psychological science offers students the opportunity to work alongside renowned faculty researching exciting new questions. Students study human and animal behavior, such as how humans manage stress and emotions and how body image affects our sense of identity. They also are able to apply their knowledge through internships that help prepare them for interesting careers that provide opportunities for them to use their knowledge of psychology.

The Department of Psychology expects to provide its graduates with a foundation of psychology that may be applied in their own lives, not only for their transition into jobs and careers, but also in marriages, families and other important aspects of life. Undergraduates in the psychology major also have access to a mentorship network of alumni to help mentor and provide support throughout their academic careers.
