Program Summary
The B.A./B.S. degree in Psychology with a Human Services Emphasis is designed to prepare students who want to work in a wide-array of professional helping careers immediately upon graduation. Similar to the Psychology (B.A., B.S.) , the Human Services Emphasis includes courses designed to build progressively upon each other as students begin with more general psychology courses, advance through a variety of methods courses with labs, and then finalize their degree with a Capstone course. Throughout this progression, students complete courses covering the major subfields of study including abnormal, developmental, cognitive, social/personality, biological, and diversity psychology. Additional courses related to the counseling field are included in this emphasis to better prepare students to work in a helping profession immediately upon graduation with their B.A./B.S. The Human Service emphasis is not designed for students who anticipate pursuing an advanced degree upon graduation.
