Online Students Can Now Earn Bachelor’s in Psychology

BA in Psychology

One of the most popular undergraduate majors at Saint Leo University’s main campus and Continuing Education Centers (as well as at colleges in general) can now be earned online. Saint Leo’s full-time psychology faculty members have completed the big job of taking the 13 most essential courses (required courses and most popular electives) they teach in traditional classrooms and creating online versions. At Saint Leo, that’s not simply a matter of posting a list of readings to a chat room. The professors work with instructional designers to decide how best to present lessons in an online platform. In this major, the online courses use tools including brief video clips, some animation, and different ways of creating interactions between the student and teacher, such as interview assignments. Students will see three different psychology courses offered online during Fall 1 semester.

Students on this track would earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, which people apply to a wide variety of fields including marketing, human services, communications, and other vocations. Some people are attracted to the BA in psychology because they need a bachelor’s degree in the field of their choosing to advance at work, and correctly think the psychology courses will help them better understand family dynamics while helping them in the workplace.
