Bachelor's in Psychology, BA
If you ask questions like “Why do people behave the way they do?” and want to help people with psychological disorders, consider a bachelor’s in psychology.
Study how the brain influences our behavior, how our senses and minds perceive the world, and how we learn and remember.
This program is available to all students online or at our Chicago campus, and will be offered at our Schaumburg campus for new incoming Transfer students beginning in Fall 2025.
