Overview
Today's
liberal arts graduates will become society's managers, problem solvers
and decision makers. These careers could be in health, government, social
work, or the mass media. The College of Arts and Sciences offers 45 undergraduate
degrees in 53 major fields of study.
The education provided by the disciplines
of the Arts and Sciences is the foundation upon which the lives and professions
of our students are built, and the basis from which personal growth occurs.
The College of Arts and Sciences takes as its goal a melding of the natural,
humanistic and social philosophies into a comprehensive whole that encourages
the development of new ideas and new approaches to the understanding
of the universe.
Degree Program
Psychology
involves the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Because
of this focus, psychology is relevant to many other areas of study both
inside and outside of the social and behavioral sciences. The undergraduate
program in Psychology offers the student a well-rounded liberal arts
education. In addition, the program provides excellent training for qualified
students who wish to pursue graduate work in such disciplines as Clinical,
Cognitive and Neural Sciences or Industrial Psychology, Education, Gerontology,
Counseling, Social Work, Management, Medicine, Law and other human service
programs. The undergraduate major emphasizes the breadth of psychology
while allowing the student some electives to pursue in-depth a particular
aspect of the field.
