Bachelors in Psychology

Eastern Oregon University’s online bachelor's degree in psychology is popular and known for its rigor. The comprehensive curriculum explores human behavior both through coursework and through real-life experiences, working one-on-one with expert faculty along the way. In your individual specialization, you will learn clinical as well as experimental laboratory clinical methods.

Choose between two specializations: applied or experimental psychology. A specialization in experimental psychology means that you will focus on empirical research methods and the analysis of research data. Specializing in applied psychology puts that data to work with humans. In both specializations, students will read, discuss, design and carry out primary research in psychology. All graduates will evaluate published research models and statistics in order to prepare and present their own professional research to multiple audiences.

With your specialization plus your individual practicum and capstone projects, you will be prepared to enter work in human and social services, schools or rehabilitation centers. This program is also great preparation for graduate study in psychology, after which you can work as a psychologist, forensic psychologist, clinical therapist, physician’s assistant and more. Your career options are as diverse as the psychology course offerings.
