Bachelor of Arts - Psychology

Psychology is not simply the study of abnormal behavior. It's the science of how we behave, the key to questions of personality, intelligence, and social behavior. 

The psychology degree program at Nazareth University is a liberal arts major that gives students a solid foundation to pursue graduate school in psychology or a career in many related fields.

Students can participate in research and fieldwork opportunities usually only found at the graduate level. For example, a gerontology course is taught on site at a local senior living community, where students take the class alongside elder residents.

The prominent place given to research and experiential learning fosters critical and precise thinking and clear communication in the use of evidence to support conclusions, as well as in making connections between intellectual life and life within the community. These intellectual skills will stand students in good stead in daily life and in many career choices.
