Psychology is a liberal arts major that is a natural science, social science and health-care profession which seeks to stimulate intellectual curiosity, an appreciation for cultural diversity, an understanding of the scientific method, critical thinking, and effective communication skills through classroom, research, and practicum learning experiences. In addition to presenting a thorough grounding in the theories, methods and research findings of the discipline, the major in psychology provides students with technological and other skills applicable to the workplace and prepares students for graduate study.

A grade of “C” or better is required in PSY 105 . No more than one course with a grade of “D” can count toward the requirements for a major in psychology (including the biology and mathematics course requirements). There also must be a “C” (2.00) or better average on all courses counted towards the major. Additional requirements include completion of a biology course selected from BIO 105 , BIO 140  + BIOL 140 , BIO 201 , BIO 202 , or BIO 240  + BIOL 240  and a mathematics course selected from MAT 101   or higher (excluding MAT 105, MAT 141, and 142), STT 210 , or STT 215 .
