Our department's has two major educational missions:
First, we offer a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree that prepares students for graduate study in psychology and related fields or for employment in applied settings. Our undergraduate curriculum introduces students to core areas of psychology including abnormal, developmental, industrial and organizational, learning and motivation, memory and cognition, physiological, research methods and statistics, sensation and perception, and social. Our undergraduate coursework emphasizes scientific theory, terminology, research methodology, and empirical findings in psychology's major areas of study. Through upper-division coursework and personal contact with faculty, our undergraduate students gain valuable knowledge and research experience in several areas of psychology.
Second, we offer a research-oriented Master of Science (M.S.) degree. Through advanced coursework, thesis credits, research colloquia, and individualized mentoring from faculty, this program is designed to train graduate students to conduct psychological research in the following areas: cognitive psychology, social psychology, learning, health, and physiological psychology. Our M.S. research program in psychological science prepares students for admission into a doctoral program or for employment in applied settings.
