The program at also actively involves students in service learning in a variety of ways. Undergraduate students have opportunities to apply the knowledge they have gained in the classroom in practicum experiences or community research projects. 

Psychology faculty and students are found in community settings which range from preschools to prisons. The graduates of our Bachelor of Arts program are prepared for further education in psychology and other professions and to take their place in the world of work. The study of psychology gives students the chance to use technology, learn to communicate, and be able to analyze ideas critically.
