Psychology Programs

The psychology program at UTPB will acquaint you with the fascinating, vast science of the human mind, from the most elemental biochemical reaction to the most complex aspect of human behavior. Through course work, field trips, research projects, community service, and campus activities, students gain a level of competence that prepares them for many areas of life outside the University. The major in Psychology is useful for students preparing for advanced study in business administration, education, law, medicine, neuroscience, counseling, education, and social work.
