The Bachelors of Science Program is designed to prepare
students for advanced studies in psychology, careers in behavioral
sciences, education, mental health, and social work, as well as teaching
psychology in schools.
In regards to special programs, the Department offers
externally funded interdisciplinary research training programs. Some of
these programs are offered in collaboration with other departments and with
other universities. The Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC/NIH)
Program is funded by the National Institute of Health and is located in the
Department of Chemistry. The Career Opportunities in Research Education
Training (COR/NIMH) Program if funded by the National Institute of Mental
Health and is located in the Department of Psychology. Both are
interdisciplinary research programs and accept eligible psychology majors.
These programs afford students the opportunity to work on research projects
with senior JSU researchers and participate in summer research internships
at major universities.
The Community Health Program (CHP) is another opportunity for
undergraduates to receive research experience. It was established by the
Department of Psychology and is funded by the National Institute of Health.
CHP is primarily a research focused program to evaluate community based
AIDS prevention models to assist African American adolescents and women as
well as adolescents with a history of substance abuse to reduce activities
that place them at risk for HIV infection.
