Undergraduate Programs

We offer undergraduate programs leading to Bachelor of Science degrees in either Psychology or Child Development. Undergraduate minors in Child Development and Gerontology are popular options for non-majors. Our department also serves the university by offering many courses that fulfill general education requirements, support courses for other programs, and courses that prepare students for working and living in a culturally diverse world. Our courses also serve as a personal development resource for all university students.
