Bachelor of Arts Psychology
Why do people do the things they do? As a psychology major at St. Scholastica, you will gain new insight into human behavior. This knowledge will serve you well whether you pursue healthcare, business, teaching, additional study in psychology or almost any other future career.
St. Scholastica’s psychology program features courses taught by award-winning faculty in every major sub-discipline of psychology. We place a strong emphasis on breadth and depth in your education. After being exposed to a wide range of psychology topics, you will work closely with faculty as you discover and develop your own areas of interest.
You will develop excellent critical thinking and writing skills essential for psychology professionals. You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in unique learning experiences. You may choose an elective course on the science of happiness that culminates with a trip to Denmark, conduct your own research project and present it at a regional conference, or participate in a field internship experience in a specific area of interest.
Program graduates are well-poised to find jobs immediately upon graduation or pursue graduate studies in counseling, clinical psychology or other healthcare fields.
