Psychology Pre-professional - Arcadia University

Psychology Pre-professional from Arcadia University is a Campus Bachelor Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. The pre-professional direction is designed for students who want to pursue a specialized profession. The Psychology major is sufficiently open in requirements so that it can be integrated easily with pre-professional preparation. Correlative courses prepare students for professional work or graduate study in the following areas: *Pre-health Professions: Students preparing for one of the health professions often find the Psychology major a useful center for their pre-professional studies. In fields such as physical therapy, medicine, health education, nursing, public health, health administration, or veterinary medicine, professionals who regard their task as dealing with human beings who have difficulties can find psychology a meaningful source of guidance. Coursework in Biology, Chemistry, or Computer Science is combined with the major to provide appropriate background. *Secondary Education: Students who want to teach psychology at the secondary school level obtain state certification in social science. Upon completion of the required courses in Psychology, Education and Social Sciences, students are eligible for the Pennsylvania Instructional I Certificate.
