We offer both a B.A. and a B.S. in Psychology and you will want to discuss with your advisor which path is best for you. The B.A. degree provides a broad background in history, theories, research methods, and practical applications of contemporary psychology. The B.S. provides a strong background in biological sciences and might be better for those wishing to pursue medical-related fields.
