Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology offers two undergraduate degrees: a degree in Psychology (BA for those entering prior to Fall 2016; BS for those entering after) and a degree (BS) in Behavioral Neuroscience. Some of our majors — but certainly not all — also complete a concentration in Applied Clinical Science or Industrial/Organization psychology. A psychology minor is another option.

All in all, the Department of Psychology is an exciting place, so browse our site to find out more. We offer resources, professional development suggestions, study abroad, and interesting events. The helpful people listed on the right are located in The Center for Psychological Science (CPS) — everyone except Prof Betz, whose office is located in Tator Hall.  Click here for a printable and smartphone-friendly version of our campus map.

Academic Programs

BS in Psychology

Minor in Psychology

BS in Behavioral Neuroscience

Concentrations

A concentration is like a minor, only within psychology, and it is not required.  Each concentration provides supervised field experience.  For the Applied Clinical Science concentration, students engage in fieldwork for a minimum of 120 hours/semester throughout their junior or senior year.  These students meet with the concentration director and select an internship site during the Spring prior to their placement.  For the concentration in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, internships are arranged individually.

For more information on our concentrations, clink this link.

Gaining Real World Experience

Having off-campus experience working with populations in the community prior to graduating can help students gain admission to graduate school or obtain a job after graduation. Students can gain real world experience before graduating from Quinnipiac with a psychology major in many different ways.

Click this link for a few ideas to help you get started.

 

 

 

 

Research

Many of the members of the Psychology Department have active research programs. We welcome discussions about our research and research interests. If you have an interest in research, you should explore the possibility of working with a faculty member on a project in some way.

You can learn more about our faculty and their research interests here.
