Behavioral Science Major (36 credits)

The Behavioral Science major provides students with a disciplinary understanding of how scientists think about and understand human behavior.  Understanding this thought process and the accompanying disciplinary assumptions will facilitate applications to real-world problems.

The Behavioral Science major will be structured around the proposed learning goals and outcomes as specified by the American Psychological Association.  Students will be expected to demonstrate mastery of both knowledge and methods in experimental behavioral science, as well as critical thinking skills, ethics and values, information and technological literacy, communication skills, and personal development.
