Combined Major: Psychology and Education Requirements
This combined major educates students in psychology and elementary education. The scope and sequence of psychology courses provide students with a foundation in human development, and the cognitive, biological and psychosocial bases of learning and behavior. Education courses integrate theory and practice, as well as teaching instructional strategies and methods. The Education Department has strong ties to the local urban community, providing opportunities for students to gain field experience in Boston schools. This program allows students to pursue initial licensure in elementary education (grades 1-6).
