As of this year, the Psychology Department now offers a completely online BS degree program. This undergraduate program offers excellent training in understanding human behavior and the use of scientifically rigorous methods. A degree in psychology also serves as the foundation for various careers and helps you acquire skills ranging from communication and problem-solving to research, data analysis and computer literacy, among many other skills. The degree also allows students to complete a second major or a minor, often without additional hours.
Dr. Larry L. Mullins, Director of Online Studies for the Department notes, “We are extremely excited about being one of the first Departments in the College of Arts and Sciences to offer an online degree program of this kind. In this way, we will be able to reduce the barriers to successful degree attainment for many Oklahoma students as well as those beyond our borders. This degree will set the stage for successful careers in a variety of fields such as mental healthcare, education, behavioral research, medicine, law, forensic science and marketing/sales”.
Kaylie Bechtel, M.S., is the primary advisor for the online program. Ms. Bechtel states that “This program provides access to the same high-quality education and courses found in the face-to-face campus setting without the hassle of coordinating your commute to and from campus. Our online degree is ideal for all types of students: full-time scholars, part-time students who also work part/full time, and students who seek to maintain a desired balance between academic and domestic responsibilities. Ms. Bechtel notes “I look forward to helping each and every one of my students discover the educational path that best aligns with their own vocational goals!”
