Are you interested in understanding human behavior, mental processes and how people think, act and feel? A psychology degree is highly valued by employers who are looking for analytical and reasoning skills.
Psychology majors explore the scientific study of a person’s thoughts and behaviors. Northwest faculty help students understand three core areas: scientific research methods that enhance critical thinking skills, evidence and claims knowledge; insight into an individual’s behavior, motives and thought processes; and the understanding of the biological and social factors that contribute to human development, cognitive skills, relationships and personality.
A Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in psychology is available at Northwest. A minor is required with both programs. View the 4-year plan or catalog for courses and more information.
For transfer students the Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) is a flexible, individually tailored degree for students pursuing a vocational, technical or associate degree. Coursework for these degrees build on workplace skills and practical career training provided by an associate degree. Students may find a B.A.S. appealing for the following reasons:
