Psychology

Psychology is one of the basic majors in liberal arts and sciences. Psychologists use the methodology of science to study human behavior and experience. A bachelor’s degree in psychology forms an excellent foundation for careers in psychology, as well as business and government. It will also enhance life skills such as parenting and human social interaction. Students can also use this degree as an entry into further education leading to an advanced degree in applied or experimental psychology, or to such fields as law, medicine, business or social work.

The Department of Psychology at NC State offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology as well as an undergraduate Psychology Minor. Psychology majors at NC State have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of ways, including:

• Psychology Club: All undergraduate majors are members of the Psychology Club, which provides a number of enrichment activities
• Psi Chi: The International Honor Society in Psychology that recognizes academic excellence among Psychology students
• Other student organizations with like-minded peers in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences
