The Bachelor of Science degree in PBS is recommended for students interested in understanding the wide range of human behavior as revealed by scientific research. In preparation for the major, students are required to complete courses in research methods and statistics as well as a basic introduction to chemistry and biology. The breadth of the upper division curriculum allows students to complete the major either by specializing in a particular substantive area or areas (e.g., cognition, social psychology, perception, developmental psychology, evolutionary psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience and behavior) or by selecting a more general and varied set of courses. The major is recommended for students wanting to enter the work force upon graduation in a wide variety of industries that require an understanding of human behavior and strong analytic, problem solving, research, and communication skills. It also provides excellent preparation for students intending to go to graduate school in all areas of research psychology, clinical psychology, applied psychology, neuroscience, counseling, education, law, business, and many more.

Course programme
The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences has an honors program to augment the existing program in the College of Letters and Science. The PBS honors program provides qualified students an opportunity for an in-depth and intellectually challenging study of psychology. The psychology honors classes, for example, are restricted in size and provide a level of discussion and participation not possible in traditional lecture classes. To help prepare for graduate training, honors students are encouraged to conduct independent research under the supervision of a faculty advisor. In order to graduate with distinction in the major, students complete a research project which forms the basis of an honors thesis, which each student is required to submit before the end of the senior year. Enrollment in the PBS honors program is by application to the department and is based primarily on academic achievement. Students interested in participating in the PBS honors program should see the undergraduate advisors for further information.
