University Park Undergraduate Programs in Psychology

Psychology is a scholarly discipline, a scientific field, and a professional activity. Its overall focus is the scientific study of behavior and experience, and of the associated mental and physiological processes. The Psychology major is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills relevant to each of these aspects of psychology.

Psychology majors may select either a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree program. The B.S. program is intended for students with a strong interest in science, and requires more coursework in the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences than does the B.A. program. The Department of Psychology offers a minor for students enrolled in other academic majors.
