The Department of Psychology provides a comprehensive psychology program along with specialized focus areas. The general track allows maximum flexibility in course selection for a psychology degree. Concentration programs feature more structured curricula designed to align with particular career goals. While most students opt for the general program, those pursuing graduate studies or advanced training in a concentration-related field may wish to apply for a specialized track. Georgia State's psychology program explores the science of mental processes and human behavior. Through our courses, you'll learn to apply psychological principles to clinical, organizational, community, and various social settings while deepening your comprehension of human behavior and relationship dynamics.
Students can choose between Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree paths. Both programs cover fundamental theories and research methodologies in the field while enhancing communication and active listening skills. The B.S. degree emphasizes STEM-focused coursework in science and mathematics, with graduates often pursuing clinical applications in their careers or further education. The B.A. degree offers opportunities to explore social sciences including economics, political science, gerontology, and other related disciplines.
