The major in Psychology is designed to give stu- dents a broad, general exposure to knowledge in the various areas of psychology and to the meth- ods psychologists use to conduct research. The B.A. degree in Psychology is useful to those stu- dents seeking careers in probation and parole, corrections, personnel, industrial relations, mental health work, social work, or positions as trainees in a variety of executive training programs. The degree also prepares students for graduate school in psychology in either M.A. or Ph.D. programs. Such graduate programs prepare students for a variety of career possibilities. Careers include teaching and research positions in community and private colleges and state and other universi- ties as well as career positions such as research psychologist, clinical psychologist, counseling psychologist, and industrial psychologist.

The department offers a minor in Psychology and a major in Psychology/Law and Society.
