Psychology B.S. - Concentration: Applied Psychology
A Bachelor of Science in Psychology with an Applied Concentration is intentionally designed to be flexible to enable students working with their advisers to either focus on a specific area within applied psychology or explore a broad base in psychology.
In addition to providing a strong foundation, the Applied Concentration permits students to explore or specialize in diverse topics including forensic, industrial/organizational, and sports psychology. This concentration is well suited for students who have a dual major.
