MISSION AND EXPECTATIONS

The mission and expectations of the Department of Psychology are consistent with the overall goals of West Virginia University Institute of Technology. The overriding mission is to implement career-oriented education in psychology to individuals at the undergraduate level. The curriculum is designed to produce students who have a broad understanding of both basic and applied psychology, particularly in the areas of learning and behavior, and who have the knowledge and skills necessary to utilize their coursework with excellence in a variety of employment settings. The diversity of courses offered also is designed to ensure that each student is well prepared for further studies in psychology and related fields at the graduate level.     

Beginning in 2008, successful graduates with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from WVU Tech will be prepared to implement community, home, educational, and clinical behavioral services, and to be eligible for certification from the Behavior Analysis Certification Board as an associate-level behavior analyst (BCABATM).
