- Psychology is an interdisciplinary program that examines both the social and scientific bases of behavior; and as a premier research institution, UC Davis is home to many leading researchers in the field of psychology. Students will be able to choose between a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree and take classes from our five core areas: social/personality psychology, psychobiology, perception/cognition and cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and quantitative psychology.
- Students will begin their studies with a generalized psychology course to introduce them to the subject matter. And after taking the foundational research methods and statistics courses, students will be better equipped to take UC Davis’s advanced psychology courses. Students pursuing a bachelor of science will take a series of mathematics, chemistry, and biological science courses on top of the depth subject matter.
