Bachelor of Psychology at Kansas State University

Our undergraduate major in psychology provides students with a broad liberal arts education and an understanding of how psychologists study behavior and what psychologists have learned about behavior. The knowledge and skills students obtain are useful in a wide variety of employment settings and careers. Additional course work and experiences are available for students preparing for advanced study at the graduate level and for students interested in careers in social services. The minimum requirements for completing a major in psychology are small enough that some students are able to complete the requirements of a second major in the College of Arts and Sciences or a second degree in another college in four years.

Psychology is both an academic discipline and a profession. To become a professional psychologist, a one must receive advanced training. Our undergraduate program in psychology does not train people to become professional psychologists; however, we do offer students the opportunity to earn academic credit for participating in research and in supervised field experiences in social service agencies, industry, and government settings. Thus, students can gain experience working with professional psychologists.
