Southern Utah Universityâ€™s Psychology bachelorâ€™s degree program explores the fascinating science of behavior and mental processes. Students may choose a research-focused course of study or the clinical/counseling focused option. A research focused major can lead to the more scientific aspects of a career in Psychology. A clinical/counseling focus to the major is more in line with a future in counseling or human services. In addition, by taking the courses for a human services specialization, students can earn a social work license, which opens doors in the human services field for Psychology majors. Psychology professors are deeply involved in helping students choose courses that support their career goals and form strong mentoring relationships with students in classes that typically average just 20-30 students. All Psychology professors are heavily involved in research and give students many opportunities to take an active role in their research undertakings, including presenting research findings at professional conferences. Internships are another great strength of the SUU Psychology bachelorâ€™s program. Although internships are not required, the department has a dedicated internship coordinator who helps interested students find the ideal opportunity to support their long-term career objectives. The Psychology department maintains strong relationships with organizations throughout Cedar City and the southern Utah region, and at any given time there are as many as 100 internships available.
