The School of Psychological Sciences offers an undergraduate (B.A. and B.S.) psychology major and both the Master of Arts (M.A.) degree and Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree in Clinical Psychology.
Psychology is the scientific study of human functioning, including such areas as behavior, thinking, emotions, and interpersonal relationships. The psychology major at the University of Indianapolis allows students to combine courses from the natural and social science areas to form a solid foundation of knowledge. When combined with coursework in quantitative and scientific methodologies, the psychology curriculum offers a balanced sequence of core experiences. Elective courses allow students to gain further specialization and practical experience in areas of particular interest. Our primary goal is to help students gain the critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and general knowledge necessary for effective functioning in future occupational, educational, and social settings.
The psychology program at the University of Indianapolis provides students with a broad liberal arts background that can lead to a wide variety of career options in social services, business, government, industry, and education. Psychology majors are well prepared for immediate employment in various fields, as well as for further study at the graduate level in psychology or related areas. Students work closely with their psychology advisors to choose courses that best meet their individual interests, needs, and career plans. Pre-occupational therapy and pre-physical therapy tracks are available, providing a strong background that prepares students for successful completion of these and other health-related degrees. In addition, many students choose psychology as a second major or as a minor to enhance their employment opportunities or attractiveness to graduate programs, or simply because of their interest in people and desire to have a well-balanced and meaningful college education.
