Welcome to the Wingate University Department of Psychology. Within our department, we offer two majors:

• Human Services
• Psychology

Both of these majors provide students with strong academic backgrounds for advanced study, as well as the knowledge and skills needed to be a "generalist" in the field of human services.

The human services major is intended for students who wish to enter the job market immediately after completing the bachelor's degree. Courses in this major include human services, psychology, sociology and a practicum in which students work as interns. Many human services graduates pursue graduate study in counseling, criminology, ministry, psychology, social work and other fields.

The psychology major is designed to prepare students for graduate study leading to a master's degree or a doctoral degree in psychology. Courses in the psychology major focus on counseling/clinical psychology, developmental/social psychology and experimental psychology. Some psychology graduates enter the job market prior to graduate study leading to an advanced degree in psychology.
