Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences - Psychology

Florida Atlantic University - StudyGroup USA

The Psychology concentration provides students with a background in the science of mind and behavior and an understanding of how empirical methods are used to study human cognitive, behavioral, motivational, social, and emotional processes. Requirements for the concentration include introductory and survey courses, specialized seminars, laboratories, and a research thesis. Psychology is intrinsically interdisciplinary, as the field lies at the nexus of the biological and social sciences. Consequently, students concentrating in psychology benefit from coursework taken outside of the field. Students interested in pursuing graduate study in psychology should work closely with a member of the psychology advisory board to insure a sufficient preparation. Our undergraduate concentration is broad and research-based in order to best prepare our students for entry into this competitive field.
