Psychology - Humboldt State University

Psychology from Humboldt State University is a Campus Bachelor Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. The B.A. degree in psychology is an excellent background for graduate school and many careers. A number of our students have been accepted into prestigious, nationally recognized Ph.D. programs and many have gone on to master degree programs. The psychology major provides the basis for a career as a psychologist or mental health care worker. Typically, those professions require a Ph.D. or M.A. degree . There are also a number of executives, lawyers, and business professionals who earned a bachelor's degree in psychology before they obtained advanced degrees . Psychology graduates leave Humboldt with a number of highly marketable skills such as the ability to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data, write reports, and communicate effectively. An undergraduate degree is also helpful in many health and mental health service positions, and for careers in areas such as college admissions or employment counseling, management training, opinion survey research, or customer relations, among others. The M.A. degree program in Academic Research provides for undergraduate students to apply to this program in their junior year and complete their M.A. degree in a 5th year (their B.A. plus one year). Students select an emphasis in Biological Psychology , Social and Environmental Psychology, Developmental Psychopathology, or Behavior Analysis. More information on the 5th year Master's program can be found on the department Web page.
