Bachelor of Science - Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Because psychology is a very broad discipline, it includes many different specialty areas. Most psychologists are clinical and counseling psychologists, who diagnose and treat emotional and behavioral disorders. Other psychologists apply the principles of psychology to solve practical problems in education, law, medicine, business, and government. Research psychologists teach and carry out scientific studies on a remarkably diverse array of topics.

Many careers in psychology today require a masters or doctoral degree, so the Stetson University have designed the program to provide students with a strong foundation for graduate study. Nonetheless, many of the University graduates go directly into the job market well-prepared with the skills and knowledge afforded them via their experiences with us. Psychology majors are encouraged to take courses that expose them to the core or "pillar" areas in psychology as well as those whose emphasis is on understanding the science of psychology.
