Division of Counselor Education & Psychology

Welcome to the Division of Counselor Education & Psychology! We offer one undergraduate program (Bachelor of Arts in Psychology) and two graduate programs (Master of Education in Counseling and Education Specialist in Counseling).

We also offer an Applied Psychology of Industry Certificate Program for undergraduate students regardless of major and a Sport Psychology minor.

Psychology

Most undergraduates find psychology to be an interesting course. We like to believe that the lucky ones choose psychology as a major. The size of our program allows us to focus our resources almost entirely on undergraduates. We have three main goals: 1) preparing our students for further study at the graduate and professional levels; 2) preparing our students for post-baccalaureate careers; and 3) making the undergraduate experience as interesting and as engaging as possible.
