San Jose State University
Psychology B.S.

Although the question of why people do the things they do is an age-old question, the scientific study of this question, which constitutes the field of psychology, is only about 125 years old. As the field of psychology has developed during the last century, large strides have been made in acquiring new knowledge and in effectively applying the knowledge that has been acquired. The Psychology Department at San Jose State University offers degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level that explore the research techniques psychologists use to acquire knowledge, current state of theories and scientific findings and application of this scientific knowledge in fields such as clinical, human development, cognitive science, neuroscience, industrial and organizational psychology, human factors engineering, and more.
