- Description
- The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Psychology is designed to prepare students to become scientifically literate citizens who apply an understanding of scientific principles and findings to benefit the communities they belong to. Successful graduates of the BA in Psychology will be familiar with the major concepts, theories and historical trends of psychology, and can apply their understanding of these ideas and principles to solve problems relating to behavior and mental processes. Through their experiences inside and outside the classroom, students learn to apply what they learn about human behavior and mental processes to improve their personal and social well-being, and to advance their personal and career goals.
