Bachelor of Science in Psychology - Clinical/Counseling Track

Program Overview

Carroll University’s psychology major offers courses in clinical psychology, social behavior, cognitive theory, biopsychology and neuroscience, which together offer a wide examination of human behavior, from the social animal to the cellular level. Your education will combine theory and practical research. You may find yourself studying what sort of music rats prefer, or how consumer decisions can be influenced by advertising. And you could work one-on-one with a faculty member over the summer on a Pioneer Scholars research project.

An education in psychology provides a better understanding of human behaviors and translates to a wide variety of possible careers in counseling, human resources, marketing and sales, criminal justice and teaching, among others. The program also provides a strong foundation if you’re looking to pursue graduate studies. Our graduates have gone on to attend graduate programs at SUNY–Stony Brook, Texas Christian University and the University of Toronto, among others.

You’ll also have opportunities to work with faculty on research projects, some culminating with publication in peer-reviewed journals (a great advantage whether you’re considering graduate programs or a career). The breadth of our program is evidenced by three suggested tracks, which allow you dive more deeply into a particular area of interest with focuses on counseling, organizational psychology and research.

Clinical/Counseling Track
In the clinical/counseling track, you’ll focus on dealing with individual behaviors and prepare for careers in counseling or clinical settings. You can select from courses such as developmental psychology, biopsychology, abnormal psychology, personality and behavior. Students who select this track do so with the intention of someday working with clients in a clinical setting.
