B.A. Degree in Psychology
43 hours, minor required, plus 6 hours of same foreign language
The B.A. Degree in Psychology emphasizes a strong general education in the field of psychology for students who may not want to go on for graduate work. The department recognizes that graduate school is not for everyone and also recognizes the value of having a general liberal arts degree. Enough preparatory classes are required in the B.A. degree that if a student later decides to seek admission into a graduate school, only a small number of leveling courses will typically be required.
An OC graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology will:
- Demonstrate familiarity with the vocabulary of the systems of psychology.
- Develop basic literature review skills and writing skills necessary to gain admission into graduate school.
- Become involved in some form of community service.
- Have GRE scores adequate for admission to most regional universities.
- Demonstrate spiritual development and service to the church.
