Unique electives allow you to develop career-track concentrations in subfields such as animal learning and behavior, clinical/counseling psychology, industrial/organizational psychology and sport psychology. The clinical psychology program is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association's Commission on Accreditation.

Gain Practical Experience

Florida Tech's low student-to-faculty ratio encourages close collaboration and mentorship as well as individual creativity and leadership. Because many school of psychology faculty perform applied research outside of their teaching responsibilities, students working towards a psychology degree have an opportunity to work with faculty in ongoing research projects.

The School of Psychology also operates a variety of clinics and consulting programs, including:

Family Learning Program
East Central Florida Memory Clinic
Community Psychological Services
Center for Organizational Effectiveness
Institute for Cross Cultural Management

As a senior, students engage in a scholarly inquiry project, for which they complete an intensive field internship experience and conduct a substantial research study on a topic of their choosing. As a result, psychology degree students get practical experience, an enhanced job search portfolio and the perfect preparation for finding a job or going to graduate school.
