Πτυχίο Ψυχολογίας (BSc) - University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Psychology is a science that provides critical insights into human behavior. Psychologists investigate how behavior is modified in the face of psychiatric disorders or disease and how the brain gives rise to the rich tapestry of behaviors that govern the day-to-day experiences.

A psychology major gives you much career flexibility because of its emphasis on reasoning, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, research, and writing. In addition to becoming a counselor or therapist, many students go into human resources, sales, marketing, business management, law, medicine, social work, real estate, social services, and more – all fields that require comprehensive knowledge of human behavior.

Many students go on to graduate school to pursue specialized training. This may lead to a career as a counselor, therapist, or research scientist. In most states, a master's degree is required to become a licensed practitioner. At UWM, the psychology major can be tailored: the Bachelor of Arts route is ideal for students planning a career in human services, while the Bachelor of Science route has more lab science and is well-suited for students looking to go into a graduate research program or medical school.
