Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. This discipline embraces all aspects of the human experience – from the functions of the brain to the actions of nations, from child development to care for the aged. In every conceivable setting, from scientific research centers to mental health care services, “the understanding of behavior” is the enterprise of psychologists. At Wenzhou-Kean University we offer the B.A. in Psychology, intended to initiate students into the scientific field of human and animal behavior and the research methods by which such behavior is investigated.
Qualified students who successfully complete the program requirements will be awarded degrees from both Wenzhou-Kean University (China) and Kean University (USA).
Eligible students may elect to study at Kean University in New Jersey starting from their second semester or any subsequent semester, during which they will be eligible for in-state tuition rates at Kean University.
Major (Core) Required Courses
Field Placement (Internship)
In addition to a plethora of classes, the Psychology major also provides field placement (Internship). Currently, we offer internships at Suntree Counseling Center, located on WKU campus. We also teamed up with the Wenzhou Psychiatric Hospital to offer an internship to Psychology majors. The hospital provides students with the opportunity to work in a different department every week. For instance, one week the students may be working in the clinical department and then the forensic psychology department. We are in the process of looking to secure more field placements for Psychology majors. Our goal is to provide Psychology students with a well rounded education including internships in various forms.
