Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology

The BA in Applied Psychology program is designed to provide a thorough grounding in behavioral science at a practical level that will allow students entry into human services professions and prepare students wishing to advance to graduate work in counseling, education, or business. With innovative combinations of theory and practice, the curriculum engages students in creating a foundation for making knowledge work in the "real world". The program provides successful graduates with necessary interpersonal skills, critical thinking abilities, theoretical knowledge, ethical consciousness, cross-cultural competence, and self-awareness to be contributing members of their professional communities. Coursework culminates in a senior seminar where students develop and implement a service project in a community setting.
