About Bachelor of Arts - Psychology
The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) prepares students for advanced training and future careers as psychologists and other behavioral scientists.
Reasoning, research, data management, communication, critical thinking, analysis – these are a few of the skills a psychology major will learn through their degree program. Additionally, students gain an understanding of the many influences on behavior and development – all of which give them insight into how people, animals, and systems work. Such a skillset supports careers in a wide variety of industries and further study in psychology, medicine and health professions, law and education. UIW Psychology includes courses in service learning and internship relationships with more than 40 organizations, allowing them to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and helping prepare them professionally.

In addition to the required core courses, students in this concentration select a course in Development Psychology, which includes such classes as Child Adolescent Psychology, Lifespan Development, and Adult Development and Aging. They must also select a course in Social Influence, which includes topics such as Social Psychology, Experiential Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Psychology. They take two 4000-level courses and three electives in PSYC to complete the concentration.
