Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Psychology] From Sweet Briar College

Psychology is a core discipline in the sciences at Sweet Briar. The program is grounded in research, coursework and off-campus experiences. Because of our small class sizes, faculty know students well and can tailor the program to advance specific academic and professional goals. Students work with the clinical tools psychologists use and have the opportunity to conduct independent research projects and statistical analyses with pro software. They work with faculty on original research?and?projects that can last for years. This is a common model in graduate school, but not at the undergraduate level.

The program?offers both a?B.A. and B.S. degree. The B.A,, framed by our liberal arts curriculum, affords flexibility and the opportunity for a double major. The B.S. emphasizes research and training in science, math and neuroscience. Most majors with a B.S. pursue graduate study.
