What's the difference between the B.A. and the B.S.?
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
Our B.A. in Psychology prepares students for placements in entry-level positions in the helping professions or for graduate school in many sub-fields of psychology.
Bachelor of Science in Psychology
Our B.S. in Psychology is designed for students who intend to work in a field that has a stronger emphasis on science or math or for those who wish to pursue graduate studies that lean more towards research and the sciences.
