Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Students interested in pursuing a career in human service related fields of psychology are attracted to Appalachian State University's Psychology (BS) - Human Services degree.
This degree's curriculum provides a background for clinical psychology master's in social work or graduate school in counseling. A majority of students in this concentration are pursuing a career in a helping profession and chose Appalachian because of the number of faculty in Department of Psychology with clinical interests and backgrounds.
You will have the opportunity to learn from faculty 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. The department also houses a psychology clinic, operated by faculty and students, that provides assessment and psychotherapy services to individuals in the community.
