Bachelor of Science/Advanced Start Bachelor of Science 

Psychology is the study of why people think and behave the way they do. Factors such as depression and other mental disorders, marriage and family problems, job stress, addiction, and a growing elderly population contribute to increased demand for psychology services in the United States.* Working as a psychologist requires a doctoral degree; however, with a bachelor's degree in psychology from Kaplan University you may qualify for many entry-level jobs in community mental health centers, vocational rehabilitation centers, and correctional programs.

 Program Highlights 

The Kaplan University Bachelor of Science in Psychology program offers a broad liberal arts education combined with an in-depth look at how psychology relates to your everyday life. The program is designed to help you:

  • Examine the major concepts, values, theories, studies, research methods, and historical trends in psychology as they apply to human behavior, learning, and development
  • Gain a deeper understanding of psychological theory and methodology
  • Study diversity and the cultural conditions that motivate people
  • Utilize the scientific approach to evaluate behavior and mental processes relating to personal, social, and organizational issues

 Career Outcomes 

With a bachelor's degree in psychology, you may pursue employment as a research or administrative assistant, a technician, a teaching assistant, or in other areas such as sales, service, or business management. Jobs are available in early childhood education, residential care, community and human services, and counseling clinics. This program can also help prepare you for continued graduate-level education in psychology, which can significantly broaden your career opportunities and earning potential.†
