Bachelor’s in Psychology/Sociology

(gentle music) The Psychology Sociology Program is very significant because it combines two wonderful fields together. We focus on students who are interested in working with other people, and if you wanna understand other people, there are two things you need to know. Psychology focuses on the individual, why we think, act, feel the way that we do. But, you can't understand an individual unless you understand society, and the social impacts that exist on the individual. I chose this program because I've always had a passion with working with other people and empathizing with them, and aside from that, my other passion has always been working with children, so when deciding what major I wanted to pursue, I combined both of those, and it led me to the Psych Soc Program here at Maryville. I chose this program because I really do feel like the faculty and staff in the Psych Soc Program are some of the most caring, some of the most dedicated people on this campus. They really do see me as someone with my own interests, and my own goals, and my own plans, and the program really can be tailored to fit what I wanna get out of it. If a student's interested in working with people in any capacity, I don't think there's a better major. Again, when, when a student understands individuals from both an individual and a social perspective, you get this wonderful synergy that comes together that's absolutely incredible, there is no better way to look at it.
