BA in Psychology (Columbia) in Columbia United States | University of South Carolina

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology offers education in psychological principles and their practical applications. Students gain hands-on experience with the scientific method by participating in research projects and clinical training at our distinguished facilities, concentrating on key areas like child and family psychology, cognitive neuroscience, multicultural studies, behavioral neuroscience, educational psychology, and health promotion.

Our curriculum allows for focused study and personal growth, enabling students to pursue specialized interests aligned with their career aspirations. Unlike the Bachelor of Science program, the Bachelor of Arts emphasizes humanities coursework while maintaining a strong grounding in psychological science. Both degree paths require completion of a cognate or minor.

A psychology degree establishes essential skills for careers in human services, administration, counseling, academic support, criminal justice, and legal fields. With guidance from our committed faculty and advisors, graduates will be equipped for advanced study in both applied professions and research-focused disciplines such as cognitive neuroscience or quantitative psychology.
