(30 credits plus thesis or 36 credits without thesis)This program is intended for students who:

  • want to explore their interests further or expand their backgrounds in psychology;

  • want to learn more about the area of mental health (but without seeking the field placements and special course-work offered in the Clinical Behavioral Applications program); and/or

  • see themselves en route to doctoral study, with the goal of pursuing a career as independent researchers, particularly in the areas of neuropsychology, learning processes, or experimental psychology.

Either full-time or part-time attendance is possible. Students may be admitted in the Fall or Spring for General Psychology. Applications for the Behavioral Neuroscience and Applied Behavior Analysis programs are accepted in the Spring only, for matriculation in the Fall.
