Bachelor of Arts - Psychology - Mental Health

All psychology programs offer a wide range of courses at both introductory and advanced levels in areas such as developmental, social, abnormal, personality, and experimental psychology, and in special topic areas such as techniques of psychotherapy, drugs and behavior, health psychology, sport psychology, psychology and the law, and current issues in psychology. The mental health track provides specialized coursework and practical experience that will make one more attractive to employers (e.g., mental health services, child care, casework) immediately after graduation. This track also provides a competitive edge when seeking admission to applied graduate programs (e.g., clinical & school psychology; social work). The course work gives an in-depth analysis of psychopathology and permits a greater understanding of the various therapeutic approaches. At the same time, students receive “hands-on” experience at a practicum site of their choice to help facilitate the integration of theory and practice.
