Psychology
We focus on research to better understand and predict human behavior.
The practical application of our coursework and our research contributes to the solution and prevention of individual and societal problems. The undergraduate psychology program permits flexibility for career planning and personal development by providing two degree programs and opportunities for double majors. This allows students to develop a second interest and better prepare for a variety of careers.
The University of Dayton offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in psychology that prepare students for a wide range of careers, graduate schools or service. Department of Psychology Chair Lee Dixon discusses how pursuing a psychology degree at UD can help you find the path that suits you best.
