Maryville University’s double major in psychology and sociology offers academic breadth and the professional depth of a combined background and increased career options.

The psychology courses provide students with a grasp of the guiding psychological principles of human behavior. The sociology curriculum provides students with an understanding of the guiding sociological principles that influence human relationships in a complex society.

Together, the Psychology/Sociology program emphasizes applied career-related experiences as well as a foundation in the broad theoretical issues of psychology and sociology. In addition to the increased academic breadth, career options, and the professional depth of a combined background, the opportunity to enroll in the graduate bridge program for study in social work exists.
