The undergraduate major in psychology is designed to give
students a broad exposure to fundamental knowledge in psychology and to
the methods psychologists use to conduct research. Graduates with a B.A.
degree in Psychology often go on to careers in personnel work, government
services, business administration, probation and parole, mental health
work, or positions as trainees in a variety of programs and professions.
Others continue to law school, medical school, or social work. The UCR
B.A. degree in Psychology also well prepares students for graduate school
in psychology. With a Ph.D. in psychology, careers include teaching and
research in colleges and universities, research psychologist, clinical
psychologist, counseling psychologist, school psychologist, health psychologist,
and industrial psychologist.
There are many undergraduate research opportunities in the wide variety
of laboratories in the department. General areas of study include
thinking and perception, brain and behavior, development and aging,
personality and motivation, language and communication, groups and
identities, and health and well-being.
