Regarded as one of the most popular college majors because of its relevance to everyday life and focus on human behavior, psychology is a versatile field of study that prepares students for work in diverse work settings. According to Dr. Lara Ault, associate professor of psychology and associate chair of Saint Leo’s Department of Social Sciences, psychology students graduate with the skills employers are looking for. “Psychology graduates offer the skills, knowledge and attributes employers are looking for,” Dr. Ault says. “Saint Leo’s psychology program has always provided excellent preparation for a wide array of career options. And now that students have the option to choose a specialized track, they can concentrate on the topics that help prepare them for their post-graduation goals.”
Depending on which psychology degree you pursue, the length of that program varies. As an example, the major requirements for a BA in Psychology includes 39 credit hours. This could also vary based on the specialization a student pursues but is highlighted here to provide a general answer to this frequently asked question.
An undergraduate degree in psychology is a Bachelor of Arts as opposed to a Bachelor of Science. So you would be earning your BA in Psychology at Saint Leo University if you enrolled in any of our undergraduate programs.
