Bachelor of Arts in Educational Psychology

The BA/BS in Educational Psychology provides students with hands-on training and expertise in behavioral and mental health, services desperately needed locally and nationally. Coursework and field experiences lead directly to competitive, high demand employment opportunities and can serve as a pipeline to master's and doctoral programs in school counseling, school psychology, clinical mental health counseling, counseling psychology and clinical psychology.

Educational Psychology is a branch of psychology that examines human learning from both cognitive and behavioral perspectives. Understanding individual differences in intelligence, development, social emotional skills, motivation, self-regulation, and self-concept can help you teach, train, assess, counsel, manage, consult, and collaborate with a variety of clients (children, adolescents, parents, teachers, employees) in multiple contexts (homes, schools, community agencies, hospitals, business).

Students fulfill general university requirements in addition to taking core and applied Educational Psychology courses. The core courses introduce students to the field of educational psychology and provide a foundation in learning, human development, social emotional skills, and the psychology of multiculturalism. The applied courses help students develop skills in individual and group counseling, behavior change, consultation, collaboration, and understanding psychopathology and other disabilities.
