The intent of the psychology program is to provide a comprehensive plan of study that will introduce students to many subfields of psychology and prepare them for careers in a number of human services careers as well as graduate and professional programs. Graduate degrees are required to pursue licensure as a psychologist, counselor, or social worker. Waldorf College psychology majors should be prepared to enter these degree programs upon graduation. Through graduate studies, students may choose to specialize in areas including clinical, experimental, developmental, social, cognitive, human factors, sports, industrial/organizational, health, and forensics.

Fire Science Concentration

Waldorf’s Fire Science concentration focuses on human aspects of fire science, such as fire dynamics and fire-related human behavior. With this foundation, learners explore how to influence human thought and behavior through strategies related to community risk reduction and fire prevention or protection.

Estimated time of completion of this program is 4 years for full-time students.
