Welcome to the Psychology Department at McNeese State University. Psychology is an exciting field of study that considers all aspects
of human and animal behavior from its neuro-physiological underpinnings to its expression in complex behavior. The Psychology Department
offers students degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The undergraduate degree program leads to a Bachelor
of Science degree in Psychology, providing students with a broad background in the science of behavior. This degree prepares the student
to enter the workforce in a wide variety of settings and provides the knowledge in psychology required for advanced training at the
graduate level. Graduate students can choose from four concentrations in psychology including Applied Behavior Analysis, Counseling
Psychology, Addictions Treatment, and General Experimental Psychology. Applied Behavior Analysis, Counseling Psychology and Addictions
Treatment each support national certification or state level licensing for students who complete the degree, whereas the General Experimental
Psychology concentration serves as a preparation program for those students interested in entering Ph.D. programs. Each concentration
leads to the Master's of Arts Degree in Psychology.
