BA/BS in Psychology, General

Psychology majors here investigate the reasons behind human behavior, including topics such as health psychology, how people form social judgments, and the way choices are made. The degree supports work in human services, research, business and roles that deal directly with customers, and it also readies students for graduate study in psychology or counseling. At Lancaster the degree is hybrid. Part of the coursework meets in person at the regional campus, and the rest is completed online, an arrangement that suits those who live and work nearby. Instructors have published on subjects including attention-deficit disorder, stress and disordered eating. Undergraduates can take part in internships and research projects, gaining experience that complements what they study in lectures and discussion. Because the campus is regional, students can stay close to home while earning the degree.
