The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

A Psychology Degree isn’t just for psychologists . . .

Because being a success at any job means being successful at understanding, relating to, and working with a diversity of people in a variety of situations.

A Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Avila Advantage is an excellent way to acquire the principles, insights, and scientific methods of human observation that will make you a more observant and effective manager, supervisor, or executive.

• Are collaborative and readily accessible
• Are engaged in a broad spectrum of research into human behavior and therapy

While your psychology education is a challenging 128-credit-hour curriculum, the Advantage is that you can progress at your own pace. With classes beginning throughout the year, the course schedule allows you the flexibility to pause and restart your progress according to your personal schedule. Semesters run in an 8-week, 5-week, online, or weekend-intensive format.

Your psychology education will make you a more intuitive and effective person on the job and in almost any career field:

• Advertising
• Financial services
• Health services and childcare
• Law enforcement and government
• Manufacturing and production
• Professional writing

Should you wish to become more involved on campus, consider participating in campus clubs and organizations such as the Psychology Club & Psi Chi Honor Society, and the Kansas City Student Chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management.
