In UHart’s Department of Psychology, you prepare for a successful career or for acceptance into a first-rate graduate program through a variety of academic opportunities inside and outside of the classroom.
We offer a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology where you study human behavior and mental processes to give you an understanding of cognition, emotion, and social interaction. These skills will help you launch a successful career in business, industry, education, health services, personnel work, or in any field involving human relations.
Our minor in Psychology is a great complement to other programs of study to enhance your academic and career goals.
If you are planning to attend graduate school to become a psychologist, the BA program is the first step in the process. Many of our graduates go on to advanced degrees at UHart including:.
