Morehead State University

What you'll study

Coursework covers core areas of psychology alongside training in research design and statistics. Typical subject areas include developmental psychology, social psychology, learning and cognition, personality and abnormal psychology, and research methods. Many programmes also offer practica, supervised research projects, or applied experiences to develop assessment, observation and communication skills.

Entry requirements

Admission follows the university's undergraduate entry standards. Applicants are normally required to have completed a secondary-school diploma or equivalent; placement can depend on academic record and any universitywide admissions criteria. Students transferring from other institutions should consult the registrar for credit-evaluation procedures.

Career prospects

Graduates commonly enter roles such as behavioural-health technicians, case managers, research assistants, probation aides or community service coordinators. The degree also serves as a pathway to graduate programmes in clinical or counseling psychology, school psychology, industrial-organisational psychology and other specialised fields where advanced study and licensing are required.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

Students should explore university-wide merit and need-based scholarships, departmental awards for academic achievement or research, and external funding from professional associations. Work-study, research assistantships and paid practicum placements can also offset costs while providing relevant experience.
