BA/BS in Psychology, General

Psychology at SUNY Polytechnic Institute is taught as the scientific investigation of mind and behavior, and the program awards a Bachelor of Arts. The curriculum touches several subfields, among them neuroscience, clinical psychology, human development across the lifespan, social psychology and cognition, always stressing evidence gathered through research. Undergraduates may work alongside faculty on research and gain exposure to clinical work in community settings. Practicum placements and supervised research projects let them tailor their studies toward the careers they want, and a minor in the subject is available for students majoring elsewhere. Alumni enter fields such as mental health, human services, counseling, social work, marketing, teaching, research and business. A good number continue into graduate study in psychology or neighboring disciplines.
