Our online Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology program is designed for students who want to understand the scientific and research basis for the many diverse fields within psychology. Defined as the "scientific study of the mind and behavior" Rowan's respected and popular Psychology program follows the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for the undergraduate Psychology Major, which strives to make students "psychologically-literate citizens."
Upon successful completion of our BA in Psychology program, students will be prepared to enter a broad spectrum of fields including human services (caseworker, social worker), sales and marketing (customer service, human resources) and community activism (non-profits). Students may also choose to pursue a graduate program in a variety of disciplines and sub-disciplines in Psychology and related fields.
The program is also available as a 3+1 program through our Rowan College partner institutions (Rowan College of Burlington County [RCBC] or Rowan College of South Jersey [RCSJ]).
We’re a transfer-friendly school. We offer resources to help you see how your previously earned credits from a community college, a four-year institution or military training will transfer to this program. To explore this further, check out the Rowan Transfer Equivalency Digital Portal (TREQ) or Transferology.
Our Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology program requires the completion of 120 credits [30 credits must be at Rowan University] of approved general education and major coursework in order to graduate with a bachelor’s degree.
