Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
Who Majors in Psychology?
Approximately 300 HNS students have decided that a B.A. in Psychology offers them the liberal arts preparation which they want. Based on the information about our graduates in the past ten years, approximately a third of these students will continue on for a graduate degree in some area of psychology (clinical, counseling, industrial, experimental, or some other area). In addition, another third will seek an advanced graduate or professional degree in a related area (law, medicine, dentistry, optometry, social work, business, or other fields). Our graduates have traditionally done well in their graduate and professional school careers. There are endless careers and jobs for Psychology majors who have a B.A. degree from Loyola, a solid foundation in psychology, a strong liberal arts background and marketable skills.
