Psychology and Women's and Ethnic Studies (WEST) Double Major

The B.A. program teaches you about the science of Psychology. Students learn basic findings and theories in the field of Psychology and learn about the methods through which that knowledge is generated. It is not an applied program. In other words, more formal training is needed after the B.A. degree be a licensed clinician/counselor/ therapist/ psychologist who provides direct services to people. The B.A. in Psychology provides a useful course of study that will enable students to pursue an advanced degree.

The WEST mission is to think critically about the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, nationality and other hierarchies; to understand history, culture and society from a range of perspectives, including those emanating from individuals and communities whose stories and lives have been marginalized; to advocate for human rights and social and environmental justice; and to develop consciousness about multiethnic and gender issues locally, domestically, globally and transnationally.
