PSYCHOLOGY, BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The B.S. program is more structured than the
B.A. Program, and has a slightly higher course
load with an emphasis on laboratory courses
and field specific courses. Both degrees provide
a good educational basis for higher education as
well as employment outside the academic
setting. The idea of the B.S. was born because of
the department’s research focus and the feeling
by students that a B.S. degree represents this focus better in the ‘real’ world.
When applying to graduate programs, course-work is generally of more
interest than the type of degree.
Psychology is an academic and
applied discipline that involves the
scientific study of mental functions
and behaviors.
FUTURE GOALS
Industrial and organizational psychology is the scientific study of human
behavior in the workplace and applies psychological theories and principles to
organizations. I-O psychologists are trained in the scientist–practitioner model.
I-O psychologists contribute to an organization's success by improving the
performance, satisfaction, safety, health and well-being of its employees. An I–
O psychologist conducts research on employee behaviors and attitudes, and
how these can be improved through hiring practices, training programs,
feedback, and management systems.
