BA in Psychology in Wichita Falls United States | Midwestern State University

MSU Texas offers students the choice between a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology. While both degrees share identical psychology course requirements, they differ in their broader academic focus. The BA program highlights humanities and global cultures, while the BS program concentrates more on rigorous scientific studies. Both degree plans can be accessed through this page's menu, and both are equally valued by employers and graduate institutions. Students pursuing either psychology degree begin with a Pre-psychology designation, receiving guidance from Dottie Westbrook to fulfill both major and core curriculum requirements.

After meeting pre-psychology prerequisites, students advance to the psychology major, selecting either the BA or BS track. The psychology coursework remains identical for both degrees; variations in other requirements can be found in the Undergraduate Catalog. Upon entering the major, students are paired with a faculty advisor who offers specialized career guidance, monitors academic progress, and serves as a professional advocate. These advisors frequently provide recommendation letters and serve as references for graduates entering the workforce or further education.
