BA in Psychology

Information on the Bachelor of the Arts in Psychology

The Psychology Program is offered through Rutgers College of Arts and Sciences (Newark) at the Rutgers - Brookdale partnership program in Freehold.

Psychology is the multidimensional scientific study of behavior and thought processes. Psychologists study the structure and function of the nervous system; basic processes such as sensation, perception, and cognition; and complex phenomena such as development, individual behavior, group dynamics, personality, and abnormal behavior. The psychology major provides students with a broad background for understanding behavior through exposure to theories and scientific research across a range of these subdisciplines. Students thus acquire the preparation necessary to pursue graduate training in clinical or research psychology or to enhance the pursuit of related professions such as education, social work, medicine, or criminal justice.

Students with an Associate's degree from any accredited community college are eligible to appy to the Psychology program.
