Psychology (B.A.) - Hegis Code 2001
Major in Psychology(Bachelor of Arts Degree or Bachelor of Science Degree)Psychology is the scientific study of behavior. While most psychologists are interested primarily in human behavior, many focus much oftheir research on the behavior of animals. All, however, use carefully controlled methods of observation, such as the survey or theexperiment, in their effort to understand behavior. Psychology, like other sciences, seeks to describe, explain, predict and control theevents it studies. Thus, psychology attempts to answer questions about the underlying processes that determine the complexity ofbehavior.The major in psychology offers a variety of career opportunities in at least three different areas, (1) teaching: university, communitycollege, elementary school; (2) research: social psychologists, psychometrics, industrial/organizational, educational, and experimentalpsychologists; and (3) public service/professional: clinical, child clinical, counseling, school, and mental health assistant.Most of the careers require training in addition to a major in psychology, and this curriculum provides a broad background inpsychology for those students intending to pursue advanced studies in graduate or professional institutions and to seek employment aspsychologists in research, industry, college teaching, clinical applications, and as school psychologists and guidance counselors. Studentsinterested in advanced training should investigate the specific requirements for entrance into their professions or professional schoolsand carefully plan their pre-professional curricula in consultation with their advisors.The major in psychology also provides a general liberal education with a diversity of career opportunities for students wishing to seekmore immediate employment. Students planning participation in ancillary professions such as social, human, or community services(with no plans for graduate study) should plan their curricula in accordance with their advisors’ recommendations and their ownparticular needs.The mission of the Psychology Department of Utica College is to provide students with an education that encompasses contentinformation and theoretical approaches in psychology and emphasizes critical thinking, mastery of empirical methodologies anddevelopment of strong communication skills. This education prepares students to pursue professional careers and/or post-baccalaureateeducation in the psychological and behavioral sciences. The department also provides a supportive environment for professional andscholarly activities of its faculty and services the academic community at Utica College with regard to instructional needs in areas relatedto the psychological sciences.Students considering public school teaching as a career should refer to the programs in education - see academic programs or downloadour current catalog.Total credit hours required for degree: 120
