This is an exciting period of fast development
within the new psychology department at AUP. The
department profile is changing in interesting
ways with the addition of new faculty who will
join our department in appointments that can
bridge other disciplines in the university. Keep
an eye on this website to see new courses that
are not yet in the catalog! |

The study of psychology
provides an avenue for increased understanding and
insight into one's own behavior and the behavior of
others. The BA in psychology at AUP provides
students with knowledge of the central developments
and issues in psychology. Moreover, the student
acquires knowledge of and experience with the
scientific methods used to gather and interpret data
relevant to psychological issues. The acquisition of
empirical, analytical, and inferential reasoning
skills, and experience in communicating effectively
about psychological topics in both written and oral
form are important aspects of the program. The core
courses and upper level courses provide a broad and
in-depth exposure to the main content areas and
applications of the discipline of psychology.
Knowledge of how culture influences behavior is
emphasized in the program. It is integral to all
courses, for example in understanding inter group
relations, differences in pain perception,
differences in development or cross cultural
differences in memory.
The program prepares students
for both entries into professional life, and to
pursue graduate studies in psychology. Psychology
majors work in a wide variety of fields, where
knowledge of human motivation, critical thinking
skills, and sensitivity are valued. Such fields
include jobs in both the public and private sectors
and include working for governments, nongovernmental
organizations, and businesses. Psychology majors
work in the areas of human resources, advertising,
sales and marketing, management, product design,
public relations and communication. Students also
pursue careers in the educational and health fields.
To become a practicing
psychologist, students must pursue a degree at the
Masters or Doctorate levels. They then may work in
clinics and hospitals, or in community mental health
agencies, universities, and private practices. They
may also work as school psychologists or as
industrial or organizational psychologists for large
corporations.
