Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Appalachian State University's Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degree prepares students with a general knowledge of psychology, critical thinking skills, communication and writing skills, and data analysis – all of which can be applied to entry-level employment or graduate education. Careers are found in industrial and government agencies, business, job analysis, corrections and social service agencies.
The Psychology (BA) requires students to complete a foreign language and a minor. You will have the opportunity to learn from faculty throughout the Department of Psychology who are expert researchers and teachers. Students often participate with faculty in research projects and are encouraged to pursue an internship, two opportunities that offer practical experience.
