Psychology

The Hub of Human Understanding. Psychology is one of the fundamental majors in the liberal arts and social sciences. Think of it as a "hub science"—it connects easily to diverse areas such as biology, sociology, health, business, and technology. At its core, we use the rigorous methodology of science to study exactly what makes us human. 

A Foundation for the Future. A bachelor’s degree in psychology serves as an excellent foundation for a wide variety of careers. Whether you aim for a career in clinical or counseling psychology, or a role in business or government, this degree prepares you for the modern workforce. 

The Department of Psychology at NC State offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Psychology as well as an undergraduate Psychology Minor. Psychology majors at NC State have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of ways, including:

• Psychology Club: All undergraduate majors are members of the Psychology Club, which provides a number of enrichment activities
• Psi Chi: The International Honor Society in Psychology that recognizes academic excellence among Psychology students
• Other student organizations with like-minded peers in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences
