intended for students who plan to enter
the job market immediately after completing an
undergraduate degree, although it could be used
by qualified students as a foundation for postbaccalaureate
training in psychology and closely
related fields. Students earning the bachelor of

another program closely tied to the work force
(business, communication, economics, education,
or sociology).

The bachelor of science degree in psychology is
intended for students who are contemplating
advanced work in psychology or a related field

after graduation. While the bachelor of arts

more adequately prepares students for post-baccalaureate
education and ensures a broad background
in the scientific bases of psychology.
Many graduate programs in psychology are

hours in the natural sciences and mathematics,
regardless of the concentration. The concentration
in biopsychology fulfills the requirements for
the bachelor of science degree.
