Designing a Curriculum
Introduction | Business | Education | Law | Medicine | Clincal Psych/Counseling/Social Work
It is difficult to suggest a typical four-year program in psychology, because each student's program is specifically tailored to his or her needs and interests. The major lends itself easily to specialization. In fact, the Psychology Department now officially recognizes the value of such specialization and offers four specialization tracks for students who want to increase the depth and sharpen the focus of their major. The four tracks are Cognitive Sciences; Health and Development; Mind, Culture, and Society; and Neuroscience. Students considering graduate work in psychology or professional careers in law, medicine, business, or human engineering will find the training received in any of these options to be quite valuable.
Because psychology is concerned with a wide range of social behaviors, study in this field provides a strong foundation for those students considering careers that involve interacting with people. Students considering careers in business, education, law, medicine, clinical psychology, counseling or social work can benefit from extensive course work in psychology. For students with these career interests, the following course recommendations have been prepared by the faculty for each career area:
Preparation for a Career in Business
Preparation for a Career in Education
Preparation for a Career in Law
Preparation for a Career in Medicine
Preparation for a Career in Clinical Psychology, Counseling, or Social Work
