Note: As of June 2, 2011 we are suspending admissions for the academic and research concentrations pending program closures, and will no longer be accepting applications.

The general psychology program offers students the opportunity to specialize in one of three concentrations. The academic concentration (30 s.h.) is designed to provide the preparation necessary to teach psychology at the community college level. Students can opt for on or off campus instruction. The research concentration (30 s.h.) focuses on courses for those who wish to conduct research or prepare for doctoral training. The industrial/organizational concentration (45 s.h.) is designed for students wishing to apply psychological expertise to situations involving human resources in organizations. The industrial/organizational concentration requires a summer internship between the first and second year. Acceptance into the industrial/organizational concentration does not guarantee acceptance into the occupational health psychology concentration of the health psychology doctoral program. Students who are enrolled in the industrial/organizational concentration and wish to pursue a doctoral degree in health psychology with a concentration in occupational health psychology must apply for admission to the PhD program.
