The Department of Psychology offers both graduate (MA, MS, PhD) and undergraduate programs (BA or BS). At the master’s level, the department offers the Master of Science in counseling psychology.

At the doctoral level, there are four emphasis areas: clinical, counseling, experimental and school psychology. The doctoral programs in clinical, counseling and school psychology are fully accredited by the American Psychological Association. The program in school psychology is also accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists. For descriptions of graduate programs, see the Graduate Bulletin.

At the undergraduate level, the Department of Psychology offers a degree in psychology (BS or BA).

The undergraduate degree in psychology prepares students for entry-level jobs in many areas of the discipline of psychology or for advanced degrees in other professions. Students preparing for graduate or professional school in other disciplines should consult the appropriate advisor to ensure that the program of study is congruent with the graduate or professional school to which they plan to apply. Students majoring in psychology must complete a minimum of 38 semester hours of course work in the Department of Psychology and earn a grade of C or better in each of these courses. To receive the Bachelor of Arts degree, a student must also complete nine hours of a foreign language.
