The Villanova Department of Psychology now offers two five-year bachelor’s/master’s degree programs. In the first program, students earn both
a B.A. and an M.S. in psychology. This program provides an especially strong foundation for individuals who plan to pursue a Ph.D. in one of the many subfields of psychology. It also serves the needs of students who are unsure of their future professional goals and of individuals seeking a terminal Master’s degree before entering the work force.
Whereas the first program emphasizes basic theory and research in psychology, the second bachelor’s/master’s program has a decidedly applied focus, combining
a B.A. in psychology with an M.S. in Human Resource Development
(HRD). This program specifically prepares students to enter the work force as human resource professionals by providing a comprehensive background in the basic human resource competencies with emphasis on global, strategic, and developmental issues. In both programs, students take graduate and well as undergraduate courses during their senior year. Several of the graduate courses count for both graduate and undergraduate credit, allowing the master’s degree to be obtained in only one additional year.
