... Our Program is the second largest on campus and the largest non-professional, liberal arts major at UPG.
... Students are given a solid foundation in theories, methods and skills related to psychology, and may explore linkages between psychology and related fields like education, health sciences, management, administration of justice, communication, and the social sciences.
Our Goals Window to the future
... Many of our majors find jobs or complete internships in a career- relevant area before graduation, and most remain in the community as professionals. Many go on to graduate school, usually earning a master’s degree in social work, counseling, or education.
... Psychology is one of the most marketable majors, and teaches a variety of skills and information likely to enhance employability. It opens an array of possible future career paths, including clinical and service work, education, health care and health sciences, corrections and forensic work, administration, public affairs, and business options like personnel work, sales or advertising.
... Psychology can be a stepping stone to a number of careers and educational opportunities. While desirable, graduate education is not required for employment, and can be pursued while working, with employer support, and/or as a long-range goal.
Our Promise Expand your possibilities
... Psychology is one of the most useful and flexible majors -- it provides training in critical thinking, writing, communication, research, and statistics, and encourages empathy and an openness to diversity.
... We sponsor activities and learning experiences for students through the Behavioral Sciences Academic Village (BSAV) and Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for Psychology, maintaining strong links to student programs on campus and in the larger community.
