Bachelor of Science With a Major in Health Psychology:
Health Psychology Track

The health psychology track provides a solid, well-rounded health psychology education. This track is the best choice if you plan to pursue a graduate education in psychology. You will find yourself better prepared than most of your graduate peers, thanks to the breadth of material covered, the practical experience you will gain, and the skills you will acquire in research and critical thinking. In both tracks, you will have the opportunity for in-depth exploration of spirituality and health within the context of various belief systems.
