Bachelor of Science in Education in Psychology
This program prepares students to be psychology teachers at the secondary level – meaning middle and high school.
To earn a teaching credential in psychology, students also need to pursue certification in another field of teaching. The psychology credential cannot be earned alone. Students often combine psychology teaching with health and physical education, or with social sciences but any other teaching area can be a great fit.
