Better your community with a BS in Psychology and Human Services degree
If you’re a highly compassionate person who dreams of inspiring social change, a double major in Psychology and Human Services may be the perfect degree track for you. With a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology and Human Services, you can make a positive difference at the grassroots level — helping underrepresented communities through outreach programs, services, and more.
Develop interdisciplinary knowledge and skills
Earning a double major in Psychology and Human Services is a unique, interdisciplinary experience. The Psychology and Human Services degree programs share similar goals with slightly different emphases.
Through your Psychology coursework, you will study the inner workings of the human mind, learning how to describe, explain, predict, and influence behavioral and mental processes. Through your double major, you will apply this knowledge to the Human Services field, helping you understand the important role that psychological and social development plays in shaping the lives of marginalized individuals and their communities.
Your Human Services major will also include courses in Counseling, wherein you’ll learn how to build strong, trusting, and culturally sensitive relationships with diverse populations.
