Bachelor in Psychology Major

The Psychology Major within CHA University's Department of Healthcare Convergence covers the scientific study of human behavior, cognition, and emotion, combined with an applied focus on health and clinical contexts. Core coursework typically spans developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, research methods, and statistics, giving students a grounding in how psychologists design studies, collect data, and interpret findings about mental processes and behavior. Because the program is situated within a healthcare convergence framework, students also examine topics such as health psychology, stress and coping, patient communication, and the psychological dimensions of illness and recovery, connecting general psychological theory to clinical and hospital settings. Graduates are prepared for further study in clinical, counseling, or health psychology, as well as entry-level roles in human resources, social services, market research, and health-related organizations that value an understanding of human behavior. Practical training often includes experimental design, data analysis, and supervised observation, building skills in critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning that apply broadly across health, business, and social-service settings. The bachelor's degree is delivered in English at CHA University, located in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and is completed over four years, with intakes offered in both the spring and fall semesters. Students interested in understanding why people think, feel, and behave as they do, particularly in relation to health and wellbeing, will find the curriculum directly relevant to careers in counseling support, healthcare services, and behavioral research.
