Psychology Degree

Degree Overview

The Psychology degree offers you one of the most flexible liberal arts degrees that can lead to a variety of career paths. Many people go into psychology because they are interested in understanding human behavior and seeking solutions to problems faced by humans and organizations.

Bellevue University's in-class or online Bachelor of Arts in Psychology focuses on the study of psychology as a science. In the degree program, you'll evaluate psychological theory and concepts and be able to apply these to research. In addition, the practice of critical thinking, problem-solving, research methods, and statistical analysis will help prepare you to conduct and present research and to apply scientific principles to understand and evaluate human behavior.

All of these skills translate well into career paths - in addition to the counseling professions - that are built on in-depth knowledge of human behavior and human interactions, such as:

• Human and social services
• Human resources and career services
• Management or organizational leadership
• Marketing, sales, and business analysis

The online Psychology Degree program follows the same guidelines as the on-campus degree program for an undergraduate psychology major - as presented by the American Psychological Association (APA). As a result, you will have gained a well-rounded, research-oriented education.
