Undergraduate Psychology

As an undergraduate psychology major at Avila, you will develop the critical reasoning, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills required for a wide range of career areas from health care to law to public relations. If your goal is to become a licensed counselor or psychologist, your Avila undergraduate psychology degree will prepare you to enter master’s and doctoral graduate programs.

You can choose an area of concentration to best suit your career path:

• Mental Health
• Research
• General

Through college coursework, applied experiences, involvement in Psi Chi (psychology honor society)/ psychology club, and an apprenticeship research model in one of our active research labs, you will experience collaborative, participatory learning, with real-world applications.

The admission process should be started early to ensure timely consideration. Students may consult with their academic advisor and review the requirements on the graduate psychology web page before applying.
