Are you fascinated by human behavior? Psychology offers a window into the way people think, feel and behave. Psychologists work to understand people and help them adjust to life transitions and achieve optimal mental health in everyday life.
Understand the human experience through qualitative and quantitative research methods. Investigate cognitive psychology, personality theory, abnormal psychology, the biological bases of behavior, child and adolescent development, and race and ethnicity. Work closely with faculty, and present your research at conferences for the Southeastern Psychological Association and American Psychological Association.
Translate your knowledge into workplace success with applied courses—in forensics, the military, counseling, and industrial and organizational psychology—as well as community service projects and internships.
In addition to the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Saint Leo also offers a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Both the B.A. and B.S. are based on the American Psychological Association model for programs of distinction. The B.A. provides a well-rounded education, with flexibility to tailor your course of study to meet your individual needs; the B.S. requires a more intensive research component that will prepare you for graduate school at both the master's and doctoral levels.
Graduates pursue advanced study in psychology, as well as employment in human service settings and mental health facilities. A psychology major is also great preparation for careers in law, business, human resources management, advertising and sales.
