Cooperative program leading to the Associate Degree in Science and the Bachelor 
of Science in Psychology at Sam Houston State University 
PSYCHOLOGY: The question of why people and animals do what they do is a question 
for which scholars have long sought answers. The Psychology Program at Sam 
Houston State University is intended to provide a broad overview to the field of 
psychology that developed over the last 125 years to provide answers to this 
question. 
The objective of the Psychology Program is to provide students with a solid 
background in the science and practice of psychology. In our curriculum, 
students will find courses dealing with the biological bases of behavior as well 
as the social and clinical underpinnings of behavior. This well-rounded approach 
will enable students to be prepared to work in a variety of areas as well as 
enabling them to be prepared for advanced degree programs.
Participants of 2+2 programs at community colleges are especially welcome to 
join our program. Additional information may be found at Psychology web site.
