"The individual attention I received and the research opportunities available to me within the Butler University Psychology Department helped lay the foundation for my success in graduate school."

Amanda Kras, Class of 2004

Students may major or minor in psychology. Students majoring in psychology earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. The links on this page will allow you to see the requirements for the psychology major and a suggested plan of coursework for completing the major in four years, as well as the requirements for the minor. Students may also double-major in psychology and another discipline. Finally, psychology has partnered with other departments to offer combined majors in psychology-anthropology, psychology-sociology (criminology or social work concentration), psychology-political science, psychology-philosophy, and psychology-journalism. Students wishing to pursue a double major or a combined major should consult their academic adviser.
