About the Department
The Department of Psychology and Counseling provides programs of study at
both the undergraduate and graduate levels. At the undergraduate level the Department
offers B.A. and B.S. degrees with a major in psychology. Psychology is not only an
exciting and popular undergraduate major or minor at Valdosta State University and
around the country, but it is also one of the most useful. Undergraduate psychology
training assists in preparing students for a number of career alternatives in government,
business, industry, etc., that do not require more advanced training. It also assists in
preparing students for professional or graduate school in psychology, law, physical or
occupational therapy, social work, business, education, and other areas. At the graduate
level, the Department offers the M.S. degree in psychology in clinical/counseling and
industrial/organizational. Graduates are prepared to perform services in mental health
settings, businesses, community colleges, government or industries, which require
graduate training in psychology at the subdoctoral level.
The Department also offers programs leading to the M.Ed. and Ed.S. degrees in
School Counseling and the Ed.S. in School Psychology.
