BACKGROUND NOTE
Courses in psychology were first
introduced at South Dakota State University in 1885 as a combination of
philosophy and psychology. In 1913, psychology was merged into the
Department of Education. After 1913, the offerings slowly grew
from two to twelve courses and staffing increased. In 1954, the
Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology was authorized. Except
for the years 1938-41 when psychology existed as a separate department,
psychology remained in association with education until 1967 when it was
again combined with philosophy as a separate department. The
following year it again became an independent Department of Psychology
and has so remained.
The Department of Psychology offers a BS
degree. Within the psychology major, students may pursue a
pre-professional curriculum, an applied curriculum, a teaching option
(preparation for secondary school teaching) or a psychological services
option.
