Bachelor of Arts in PSychology

Students who study psychology look to answer that age-old question:  why do people do the things they do?  This field, which is pursued by people interested in the stimulating and satisfying study of human behavior, is expected to grow by as much as 20 percent over the next several years. Post University's Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program prepares students for careers in the social services or related fields.  It's also a springboard to further education, either through a graduate program or specialized professional training. 

Post University's psychology students not only take courses related to their major, they take courses in liberal arts, organizational leadership, and personal development – all of which provide the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to become a leader in this field.   Students also are encouraged to participate in cooperative education experiences so they have some hands-on, real-life work experience before they graduate.  Finally, since psychology is an empirical discipline in which training and experience in research are essential to a student's education, Post psychology majors are required to take courses in statistics and research methodology, and to participate in research.   By the time they graduate, our students are well-prepared to excel in this field.

The Post University Psychology program offers students two applied tracks:

• Health, Education and Community Services
  
  Students who specialize in Health, Education, and Community Services are prepared to take positions as behavior analysts, case workers, child protection workers, drug/substance abuse and employment counselors, family social workers, youth counselors, and hospital advisors and patient representatives.

• Organizational Studies
  
  Students who specialize in Organizational Studies are prepared to take positions as college admissions counselors, recruiters, fund raisers, and alumni relations managers, congressional aides, customer relations specialists, management trainees, employee counselors, human resources managers, and sales, marketing and research specialists, among other jobs.

Either track will prepare students for graduate school in psychology, law, counseling, or other similar professional programs.
