Bachelor of Arts or Science - Psychology

From cognitive and developmental psychology to practices in clinical psychology and psychopathology, the UO’s Department of Psychology immerses students in the study of the human mind and behavior. All students collaborate on research as part of their academic sequence and many gain additional research experience in department labs. Students will learn strong critical thinking skills and how to evaluate and convey evidence. Students will develop skills in real-world settings with student-run peer programs, internships at local clinics, shelters, hospitals, and justice centers.

The psychology major will expose students to basic concepts, theories, findings, and ethical issues in multiple areas: social, personality and psychopathology, developmental, cognitive and experimental, and biological and physiological psychology.
