Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

Program Overview

The undergraduate Psychology curriculum at CSUB balances the structure of a common set of foundational courses needed by all Psychology majors with the flexibility that allows them to pursue their own special interests within the discipline.

As part of their preparation, students participate in a supervised applied experience in psychology , a feature unique to the Psychology major at CSUB. This applied experience may involve working in a psychology-related position in the community for pay or as a volunteer, serving as a teaching assistant, or getting involved as a research assistant.

Students also gain valuable experience in the science of psychology through a carefully planned sequence of research methods courses. This sequence culminates in an advanced laboratory course in a specialized area of the student’s choosing. Many students continue to pursue their research interests outside the classroom under the guidance of faculty research mentors.

The Psychology major at CSUB prepares students for a wide array of job opportunities  in human services and business settings that require strong written and oral communication skills, critical thinking, interpersonal sensitivity and confidence, data analytic abilities, and information technology skills. The major also prepares students for advanced graduate work in Psychology.
