BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PSYCHOLOGY

DEPARTMENTAL DESCRIPTION

The Department of Psychology offers a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Studies, and a Master of Science in Behavioral Science.

MAJOR DESCRIPTION

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior. Through courses in psychology, students will learn principles that govern human behavior. Majors complete 27 hours of required courses including history of psychology, learning, developmental, abnormal, personality, and research methods. In addition, majors choose 15 hours of major elective courses from counseling and clinical, cognitive, social, sensation and perception, biopsychology and others. The courses offered at Cameron meet the educational objectives of at least three groups of students: (1) those who want to study psychology at the undergraduate level as a precursor to pursuing a career other than psychology; (2) those who wish to enter psychology as a profession immediately after the bachelor’s degree; and (3) those who plan to attend graduate school and then enter psychology as a profession. Many Cameron graduates decide to earn a Master of Science in Behavioral Science.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Departmental scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis to students who excel academically. Applicants must have at least a 3.0 GPA in psychology to be considered.
