Our Upside-Down Curriculum allows you to explore psychology's boundless applications in your first year. In the first two years of the Psychology program, you will be immersed in a strong disciplinary foundation through a range of Psychology courses. You'll then choose a concentration, spending your third and fourth years honing your expertise in a certain area.

Upper-level courses all include experiential learning; you'll participate in internships as part of your studies, so you'll build real experience in professional work and research. 

Interested in studying abroad for a semester? We've designed the curriculum so you can take a semester studying abroad without getting behind on required courses for your major.
