A Bachelor's Degree in Psychology
from Franklin University can impact your career
in a number of positive ways.
We designed a program that was extremely transfer-friendly.
So, if you have any credits from other institutions – Likely
they will transfer in, and you can hit the ground running
and then keep moving forward and progressing towards your goal earning a bachelor's degree.
The skills you learn throughout the program
can immediately be applied in your current career.
As well as to the long-term goals that you may have.
Franklin offers areas of focus in
Child Psychology, Sports Psychology,
Industrial/Organizational Psychology, and Forensic & Criminal Psychology.
You can tailor the psychology program to your own interests
by focusing in one area of psychology
or exploring multiple areas of psychology to get a broader knowledge base.
We try to keep students short-term and long-term goals in mind.
For example, when I was getting ready to graduate from my undergraduate degree in psychology,
I decided I wanted to go on and earn a master’s degree in counseling.
Well, I have never been in a community mental health agency up until that point;
In matter of fact, it wasn’t even until my second year
of my master’s in counseling that I had stepped foot in an agency.
At this point in time, I did learn that psychology aligned with my goals and interests.
However, some of the students in my class were not so fortunate –
and it wasn’t until that second year of their field experience, they decided this really wasn’t for them;
but many of them went on to complete the program
because they’d already spent so much time, money, and effort working towards this goal.
However, they had no intention of going on to get a job
within the field upon graduation.
With this program, I want students to feel confident that they are taking steps
towards their career goals that truly align with their interests and passions.
Our faculty are invested in each student as an individual
and try to tailor the curriculum to fit
their needs, their goals, and their interests.
Further, our faculty are employed in a number of
community mental health positions.
So, they are able to help students have that real-world
application as they are learning the theories.
We strive for all psychology students to become advocates for community mental health.
Whether that’s using your voice to break down barriers associated
with a stigma of mental illness or, advocating for mental healthcare services for all.
You can make a difference in your community.
