Tailored Programs

Psychology students may tailor their degrees to their personal goals and interests. Students have the choice of a BA (Bachelor of Arts) in Psychology or a BS (Bachelor of Science) in Psychology. Both degree paths provide room for majors and minors to choose courses that complement their career or graduate school plans. Both degrees also provide concentrations in Behavioral Neuroscience or Cognitive Science.

Opportunities Outside the Classroom

Our undergraduate students have the opportunity to become involved in research and attend conferences, participate in internships, and join honors programs. Students may join a teaching team for General Psychology courses and organizations like Psi Chi (Psychology Honor Society) and the Psychology Club.

Flexible Scheduling

Students may take courses on campus in Memphis or the Lambuth campus in Jackson, with year-round online options for those with jobs, families, and other commitments.

Job and Graduate School Preparation

Coursework, advisors, and faculty assist with grad school and career goals. Early on, students take a course exploring career options in psychology. University Career Services offers additional support from the first year through graduation.
