Founded in 1893 by the Sisters of the Holy Names, Marylhurst was the first liberal arts college for women in the Northwest.

Today, Marylhurst is a co-educational university serving a diverse student body of all ages, faiths and backgrounds. It is recognized for its academic excellence, seminar-style classes and flexible scheduling options: courses are offered days, evenings, weekends and online.

Accreditation

Marylhurst University is accredited at the baccalaureate and master's levels by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

The psychology degree program is structured to prepare you for graduate-level study or for employment in a clinical, research or applied setting, such as human resources, education, community outreach, substance abuse rehabilitation, case management or social work. Regardless of the path you choose, your Marylhurst liberal arts education will give you the tools you need to effectively and ethically participate in your community.

In the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program you will explore a number of important topics, including the following:

  • The who, what, when, where and why of human behavior
  • The internal and external influences on thought, behavior, learning and development
  • The history and progression of psychology as a discipline, and what it means to call it a science
  • How public opinion and politics, as well as rigorous investigation and theory, influence how we define and treat "abnormal" behavior
  • A variety of topics, including but not limited to, neurotransmitters, nurturance, prenatal brain development and cutting-edge research on Alzheimer's disease
