Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Psychology] From University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

The BS degree in psychology emphasizes coursework in biological and quantitative/cognitive sciences. The biological courses are appropriate for students interested primarily in specializations such as the biological basis of psychopathology, the brain-behavior relation, evolutionary psychology, and behavior genetics. The quantitative/cognitive science courses are appropriate for students interested primarily in statistics and methods used in psychological research, in mathematical models of perception and cognition, and in psychological measurement. Students interested in the biological area are encouraged to choose heavily from outside foundation courses in the life sciences (e.g., biochemistry, biology, genetics and cell biology, evolution and behavior), whereas students focusing upon quantitative/cognitive science courses are encouraged to select more outside foundation courses in mathematics and the physical sciences (e.g., computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics).
