Psychology (Psych)

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology totals 120 credit hours and is typically completed in about 40 months of full-time study. Keiser uses a one-class-at-a-time model: students take a single course over each four-week term, with new classes beginning every month.

The program is offered on campus, fully online, and in a hybrid format, with day and evening options available at select campuses. Tuition is charged per 16-week semester based on scheduled credit hours. Coursework progresses from lower-division general education and foundational psychology courses into upper-division clinical, counseling, research-methods, and concentration coursework (approximately 21 credit hours of concentration electives). Up to 12 transfer credits may be accepted toward the degree.

The curriculum pairs general education with a comprehensive sequence of psychology courses — spanning cognitive, experimental, social, abnormal, personality, developmental, clinical, and health psychology, plus research methods and statistics — followed by concentration electives. Representative courses are listed below.

Tuition is charged per 16-week semester by scheduled credit hours. For full-time enrollment (12–17.99 credits), tuition is approximately $12,408 per semester (Keiser Undergraduate Tuition & Fee Disclosure; subject to annual review). Completing the 120-credit degree at a full-time pace generally spans about eight semesters, for an estimated program tuition of roughly $99,000. New students also pay a one-time $55 application fee and a one-time $145 registration fee at enrollment. Actual cost varies with transfer credits, pace, and any course-specific resource fees; use Keiser's Net Price Calculator (https://www.keiseruniversity.edu/NPC-index.html) for a personalized estimate.

Students who qualify may fund their education through a range of financial-aid options, including:

• Federal Pell Grants and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
• Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and Direct PLUS Loans
• Federal Work-Study
• Florida state aid such as the Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG) and EASE
• Institutional scholarships
• Veterans and military education benefits

Students must complete the FAFSA (School Code 015159) each year to determine eligibility.

Estimated total program tuition of about $99,264 (full-time semesters at ~$12,408/semester); actual cost varies with pace and transfer credit.

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology prepares graduates for entry-level roles across mental-health, human-services, education, business, and social-service settings, including positions such as mental-health technician, behavioral-health technician, social-services specialist, case worker, community-outreach coordinator, child-welfare specialist, market-research analyst, and human-resources or career-support roles.

The degree also provides a strong academic foundation for graduate study. Many professional and clinical roles in psychology and counseling — including becoming a licensed psychologist or licensed counselor — require a graduate degree and state licensure; a bachelor's degree in psychology is a common first step toward those advanced credentials rather than a licensure qualification in itself.

Expect to focus on one course at a time over four-week terms, moving from foundational psychology and general-education courses into more advanced clinical, counseling, research, and concentration coursework. You will build practical skills through research-methods and statistics classes, engage with a broad range of psychology topics, and be able to select a concentration that matches your goals.

Class sizes are small (about 14:1), and coursework can be completed on campus, online, or in a hybrid format with day and evening options at select campuses — offering flexibility for working students. Because the program is largely lecture- and research-based rather than clinical, it does not include a required licensure externship; students planning to become practicing psychologists or counselors should expect to continue into graduate study.
