Psychology - Columbus State University

Psychology from Columbus State University is a Campus Bachelor Personality Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and the mind. An undergraduate degree in psychology enhances career opportunities in many fields. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) programs at CSU prepare qualified graduates for success in: (1) seeking employment in careers that require a baccalaureate degree, and (2) gaining entrance into graduate or professional programs in psychology or related fields. The BA degree requires achieving competence in a foreign language. The BS degree requires additional laboratory science courses. Both degrees can be completed in four years of full-time study.
