Bachelor of Arts in 心理学

心理学 is the study of behavior and mental processes and is traditionally a popular field of study. By the very nature of the profession, psychology is a service vocation. This fits well with Waldorf’s mission of preparing students for “lives of service.” A Bachelor’s degree in psychology prepares students to be well-rounded, educated individuals as it reflects many of the goals of a liberal arts 教育 by providing a knowledge base, 思维能力, 分析推理, 人际关系技巧, 道德价值观. 心理学 majors are prepared to pursue graduate and professional programs in psychology, where they could further specialize in a variety of areas in psychology including clinical, 实验, 发展, 社会, 认知, 人为因素, 体育, industrial/organizational, 健康, 和取证. They are also prepared for further 教育 in areas such as medicine, 法律, 社会工作, 护理, 和部.

Some psychology majors directly enter the job market in positions related to psychology, including case managers, 保姆, corrections or parole officers, mental 健康 technicians, political campaign workers, public relations specialists, and 社会 services workers. Others with Bachelor’s degrees find positions in jobs that at first glance do not seem directly related to psychology, such as advertising agents, college admissions officers, 国会助手, customer service representatives, human resources workers, 法律 enforcement officers, 保险代理人, 市场营销人员, 餐厅经理, public relations experts, 还有信贷员.

Given the vast array of career opportunities, students may find that psychology is a good complement to a number of other majors or minors offered at Waldorf, 比如商业, 通信, 刑事司法, 教育, 健康, 人文学科, history-political science, 英语, 和戏剧.
