Mission
The mission of the psychology program is to provide students with one of three available bachelor’s degrees in psychology: the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), which follows the traditional liberal arts framework for college education; and two Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees, which allow more focused study of the science of psychology. Thus, our program contributes to IU Kokomo’s mission of providing undergraduate coursework leading to the baccalaureate degree for residents of North Central Indiana. We in the psychology department strive to help our majors understand the major theoretical approaches to human behavior and cognition; develop abilities to gather, analyze, synthesize, and apply psychology information; develop a healthy skepticism about conclusions presented without supporting data
