Bachelor of Science - Psychology

The Psychology Department is committed to expanding its research agenda while retaining its lasting commitment to deliver a high-quality undergraduate and graduate student curriculum. Rather than viewing research and teaching as separate goals, the Psychology faculty members strongly support the view that research and teaching are complementary activities. Thus, the Psychology Department’s vision is to gain national and international recognition as a research-oriented teaching-intensive department.

The mission of the Psychology Department is to provide an excellent education for the undergraduate and graduate students who take their courses, taught by dynamic faculty who are also active in their fields. Texas State University will foster the spirit of creative inquiry by improving their students’ ability to read, write, and think critically (partly based on research methodology knowledge and skills) about enduring and emerging issues of psychology and human relationships.
