BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Applied Psychology

Antioch’s undergraduate concentration in Applied Psychology is designed to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of the theory and practice of psychology. A strong emphasis is placed on the contexts that influence the behavior and development of children, adolescents, adults and families.

The concentration in Psychology is especially designed for students who want to work in the field of mental health and related areas. The intensive and well-rounded curriculum also provides an excellent foundation for continued graduate study in clinical psychology as well as other psychology related areas.
