Undergraduate Students

Welcome Undergraduate Students

Psychology is among the most popular majors in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, graduating nearly 200 students each year.

Approximately 25% of our students earn the Bachelor of Science degree, with the majority earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. All are trained in the science of behavior.

With the coursework, research and applied experiences undertaken as a Psychology major, about half of our WVU graduates pursue graduate training in psychology, medicine, or law. More than half of our degree recipients enter the work force immediately, taking jobs in community mental health and human services, finance, security and other applied areas.

As one of the largest majors in the Eberly College, we aim to prepare our program graduates for long term professional success (see report on the professional success of liberal arts and sciences majors by the Association of American Colleges and Universities).
