 Return to: Programs of Study by Department
The curriculum within the Psychology program at Flagler College emphasizes psychology as a basic and applied science and is based on the American Psychological Association undergraduate learning goals and objectives. While students explore research questions, methods, and ethical standards, they are challenged to think critically and independently, and to communicate ideas and conclusions effectively. Our Psychology program prepares students for careers in a variety of occupational settings or for graduate work in psychology.
Completion of an exit exam (Major Field Test) during the final semester at Flagler College is required of all Psychology majors. In addition, students are encouraged to pursue independent research and internship experiences in the local community. Internship positions are available to students of junior or senior standing who have obtained a minimum cumulative average of 3.0 and permission from the instructor. Internship hours do not count toward a major area of concentration or toward minor areas of study in social sciences. The major requires 43 hours; at least 12 of those hours must be at the 400 level in Psychology.
