NDSU offers psychology as both a major and minor for undergraduate students. Those pursuing a psychology major can choose between a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. The key distinction lies in the B.A. requiring second-year foreign language proficiency, whereas the B.S. mandates either an approved minor or extra coursework in natural or social sciences instead of language. Psychology majors and minors enjoy flexibility in tailoring their coursework to align with personal interests. The field encompasses diverse aspects of human cognition and behavior, examining both typical and atypical patterns in individuals and groups. Psychology stands apart through its emphasis on research methodology. Given its wide applicability across various careers, many students aiming for fields like healthcare, law, business, social services, education, or counseling opt to include psychology in their academic path.
