Bachelor of Arts
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. A bachelor of arts degree in psychology can prepare you for a variety of career options, including careers in the human services, business management, personnel, counseling, behavioral instruction, or as a family worker and youth advocate. The major is also an excellent preparation for graduate study in a variety of areas including psychology, business, education, social work, law, and recreation. As a psychology major, you will study human behavior from a life-span developmental perspective; including both abnormal and normal behavior as it is affected by the learning process, personality development, motivation, and interaction with others.
This dynamic field has long been one of the most popular areas of study for Aurora University students. Because of the flexible program requirements and the opportunity to develop individual interests, the psychology major is often teamed with criminal justice, sociology, social work, recreation, political science, business, communication, or computer science, in a student's pursuit of a double major, or at least a minor. Independent study and internship opportunities are readily available: Aurora University students have worked in local hospitals, social service agencies, group homes and schools, as well as in various businesses, state institutions, and government offices. The major can be completed with evening classes.
