Overview

The B.A. program is intended for students who want a strong background in psychology as preparation for careers in such areas as law, public health, and medicine. The B.S. program is intended for students who plan to go to graduate school in some area of psychology. Both programs provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge regarding theoretical approaches, research methodologies, and practical applications of psychology’s many sub-fields. The B.S. program additionally provides extensive hands-on experience with designing, conducting, and analyzing original research projects.

The Psychology program of Eckerd College is different from most programs. At other schools, students often take so-called advanced classes after completing only the introductory psychology course. This results in courses where some of the students have had several psychology classes, while other students have relatively little background. How does a professor teach such a class? He or she must teach it at a level which is just one step up from the introductory level – creating a great deal of redundancy and limiting the depth of instruction. At Eckerd, however, we design courses so that they build upon one another, creating a sequence of increasing power. Our students are taught how to perform at the level of graduate students by their senior year so that they can work with faculty members involved in professional research.
