About Psychology

Available Online and In-Person

The Department of Psychology at Coker University offers two undergraduate degree paths:

  • Bachelor of Science in General Psychology
  • Bachelor of Science in General Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling.

Both curricula ensure exposure to the breadth of experimental and applied psychology, while also allowing flexibility in choosing courses that fit students’ unique interests. In addition to standard coursework, students may also earn credit toward the degree from hands-on experience doing research with faculty members.

If you want to enter professional schools or the workforce in applied areas including mental health, drug rehabilitation, industry or human resources, the psychology program at Coker is for you. All students have opportunities to complete faculty-mentored student research and present at our annual symposium, giving you real-world experience before entering the profession. Our department offers student participation in our annual student research symposium and personalized faculty advising and mentoring.
