Biopsychology Overview

Students majoring in Biopsychology will learn to understand the biological mechanisms of behavior and psychological processes. The Biopsychology major will benefit students interested in pursuing a post- baccalaureate degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Biopsychology and related fields, students interested in attending medical school, and students interested in academic or professional careers requiring a solid foundation in science.
  
Our program will provide intellectual and practical engagement though internships, participation in conferences, travel, and research opportunities. The Biopsychology major requires a total of 41 semester hours. Courses are divided into two categories: Core Courses with a Required Research Component and Electives. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the major, no minor is offered.
 
Equipment/Facilities
The department has recently undergone renovations of our lab space. Our well-equipped laboratory facilities are housed with the other sciences in the Haldeman-Thiessen Science Center. The department human experimentation facilities include group processes rooms, as well as individual performance testing areas. We also have an animal laboratory, and a computer laboratory (with access to the campus-wide computer network).
