General Psychology

B.A. IN LIBERAL AND INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

Psychology your way.

The BLIS General Psychology concentration creates an opportunity path for students interested in human services careers, which require psychological knowledge but not necessarily all the specific technical “know-how” of a Psychology BA or BS. The BLIS General Psychology concentration allows these students to tailor psychology class selections to the settings they plan on working in, with a broader research methods class that provides preparation applicable in most workplaces (survey and observational research, rather than laboratory experiments).
