Psychology Degree (BS, BA, Minor)

Psychology focuses on the scientific study of the mind and people's behavior and mental well-being. It's an important field. Not only can it help people achieve greater mental health, but by providing important insights on behavior and motivations, it can also play in role in shaping society and public policy.

It's a complex and ever-evolving field, which makes a strong foundation of knowledge and theory a must. Lincoln University's psychology program can build that foundation for you as you pursue your studies in this field, and the courses you take to earn your degree will serve you well as you move onto graduate-level and doctoral studies or as you take your learnings and apply them in a professional environment.

Lincoln offers Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology, as well as a minor if you're looking to learn about psychology while pursuing a different major. The goal of the program is to prepare you for a career in a field that requires knowledge of the behavioral sciences and/or admissions into graduate and or related professional studies.
