Description
The Bachelor of Science in Psychology Pre-Counseling and Therapy degree program provides undergraduate students with instruction across the broad science of psychology and an introduction to counseling theories, professions, and practices. The psychology curriculum emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and values identified by the American Psychological Association (APA) as fundamental in the undergraduate study of psychology and is designed to foster understanding of the complexities of human behavior and thought and the development of the analytical, quantitative, and communication skills associated with psychology study. For their graduate-level curriculum, pre-counseling and therapy students choose three courses emphasizing either clinical mental health counseling and school counseling, or marriage and family therapy. Successful graduates of this program are prepared to continue their studies at the graduate level or pursue entry-level careers in a variety of public and private employment settings in which psychology knowledge and skills are used to promote human welfare. These degree program requirements are not designed or intended to meet professional licensure requirements for the counseling or psychology professions.
