  • BS in Psychology
    B.S. in Psychology About the Program A psychology major is an asset - whether your career goal is to become a clinical psychologist, counselor, social worker, or consultant; to conduct behavioral research; to become a college professor; or to enter professions such as business, law or medicine. Your expanded knowledge of human thought, emotion, and behavior is relevant to any career. Develop the intellectual skills to help you generate and evaluate knowledge in many areas by learning and applying psychology research methodologies. Although not required for completion of the program, opportunities are available to gain experience in the field and earn credit through an internship placement that pairs you with a working professional in the field. Why study Psychology at TU in Northeastern Maryland? Class sizes are small, so students experience individualized attention from faculty. Courses are taught by interactive and experienced faculty with diverse backgrounds in research, school psychology, clinical, counseling, and gerontology. This program is designed for both the traditional and the non-traditional student.
