At the undergraduate level, the Department of Psychology offers a B.A. degree in Psychology, B.A. degree in Art Therapy, and minors in Behavioral Neuroscience, Forensic Psychology, Human Development and Psychology. Minors in Forensic Psychology and Psychology may only be completed by students not majoring in Psychology or Art Therapy.

Psychology majors explore the complexities of human behavior—from first responses at birth to the process of death and dying. Art Therapy is an interdisciplinary major combining elements of psychology and art that prepares undergraduate students to pursue graduate study in the field of art therapy. The Psychology minor enables students to integrate the complexities of human behavior with their major area of study. The Behavioral Neuroscience minor specifically focuses on the intersection of biology, chemistry and psychology while the Forensic Psychology minor enables students to explore the intersection of psychology and law. The Human Development minor offers students an interdisciplinary exploration of the physical, cognitive, emotional and social aspects of growth across the lifespan.
