Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi BA Psychology - Online Completion

In keeping with the University’s mission, the Psychology department is devoted to discovering, communicating, and applying knowledge in a complex and changing world. The specific mission of the undergraduate program is three-fold: to provide a basic education within the field of psychology as a foundation for graduate work in a professional field of psychology, such as clinical or counseling psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, or developmental psychology; to provide disciplinary knowledge through a broadly-based curriculum which can be applied to related careers such as human services, business, communications, and research; and to contribute to the education of students majoring in other areas of study. An on-campus format provides a mix of face-to-face, blended and online courses. An online format provides all psychology requirements via the web. The course schedule for the online BA in Psychology will differ from on campus offerings and may not include all course options available to on-campus students.
