Arts, Letters and Science — Psychology Arts, Letters and Science — Psychology The Psychology offering at Weber State College is designed: 1. To provide a professional program for students desiring to major in psychology and perhaps planning to do graduate work in psychology. 2. To provide a thoroughly adequate program to prepare both psychology teachers for the secondary schools and other teachers with composite subject majors which include psychology. 3. To provide courses and programs to assist with the training of all elementary and secondary teachers. 4. To provide courses to help train students in business, nursing, and other fields. 5. To provide undergraduate courses to help train students who plan to work in education, in the business community, and in federal or state jobs in the areas of social or psychological service. 6. To provide courses that contribute importantly to the general education of all students, particularly to help them understand themselves and others and to help solve personal and cultural problems. The majority of job openings in areas related to psychology will likely require graduate work or training beyond the baccalaureate degree. This is particularly true in the following areas: counseling and guidance in the public schools, teaching psychology at the college level, conducting therapy in clinics or in private practice, and working as a school psychologist. There are, however, growing numbers of areas in which the person trained at the baccalaureate level can find vocational opportunities: psychological services in business, industry, and government, particularly related to testing and personnel work; teaching psychology, mental health, and personality development in high schools; assisting in research projects in the behavioral sciences; and working in programs related to governmental agencies, such as the Job Corps, Anti- Poverty, Medicare, Headstart and Upward Bound Programs. Additional opportunities include branches of the military, Civil Service, United States Employment activities, Internal Revenue Service, various levels of state and district courts, law enforcement activities, the ministry, nursing, medicine, and others. The optimum preparation for psychology is basic training in the liberal arts, such as in the biological sciences, the humanities, the physical sciences, and the social sciences, with emphasis on breadth and depth. The minimum of 40 quarter hours in the general area requirements could well be exceeded. Students planning their grade point avera tant. Competition for is keen.
