East Carolina's BA degree in psychology is designed to provide students with both a broad exposure to the major areas within the behavioral sciences as well as a focused appreciation for statistical analysis and research design as core competencies within the discipline. Program instruction serves equally well as preparation for a research or teaching career in psychology, or for entry into various professional fields that focus on behavioral challenges. The major may prove useful to students planning professional careers in such fields as medicine, law, education, business, social work, or counseling, as well as to students interested in a general background in the behavioral sciences. Psychology majors benefit from opportunities provided by activities available both in and outside of the classroom. A wide range of course offerings are scheduled regularly so that students may learn about broad content areas and special focal topics, essential skills as well as major conceptual perspectives, and basic behavioral science in addition to applied psychology. Students can gain field and research experiences as well as complete full-blown research projects similar to those required in graduate school. All majors are also encouraged to participate in Psychology Club or Psi Chi (the honors society for psychology majors).
