Students who prefer a broad view of the field often choose the General Psychology concentration. Students in this concentration can tailor the psychology lecture/lab pair and upper division psychology elective requirements to fit their interests. Students with an interest in the applied applications of psychology are encouraged to participate in internships, while those with an interest in pursuing an advanced degree in graduate school are encouraged to seek research experience with a faculty member.
