The B.A.Psychological Science?program offered by The University of Vermont?option is primarily designed for students who are interested in becoming a practitioner working in an applied setting such as a counselor, therapist,?or social worker. The degree is also a good framework for careers in medicine, research, neuroscience, law and business.

If you plan on pursuing graduate studies in psychology or a related field, the B.S. option may be best for you. This program places a stronger emphasis on math, science and lab courses, leading to careers in research, academics, medicine or neuroscience.

Preparation for a particular career comes with the courses you choose to take, not the degree that you earn. For example, students routinely enter medical school having earned a B.A. degree and having taken courses in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics. Similarly, students frequently earn a B.S. degree having also taken a large number of courses in the social sciences or humanities.
