College of Behavioral and Social Sciences

How we see the world impacts our ability to navigate through it. We focus on mind, brain, mental health, and quality of life—and prepare practitioners who know how to connect the dots.

Home to some of the most popular majors on campus, the Department of Psychology, Counseling, and Behavioral Health prepares students to be practitioners and leaders within the fields of psychology and rehabilitation services. Located in the state-of-the-art Health and Humans Services Building, we graduate students ready to seek licensure and start professional careers in hospitals, rehabilitation settings, assisted living centers, addiction treatment centers, and other related settings.

Our Students Make Coppin Proud

Committed and motivated, our undergraduate and graduate students shine outside of the classroom as well. Counseling, rehabilitation, and psychology programs require a field placement or internship opportunity where students can put their skills to work. Consistently, employers and site supervisors recognize our students’ professionalism, empathy, and aptitude—which often leads to many seniors getting full-time job offers post graduation.

Our students stay involved academically and socially. The Department is a significant contributor to the Maxie-Collier Scholars Program, the McNair Program, and the Honors Program. There are also opportunities for students to join groups interested in psychology, counseling, and rehabilitation services, including the Psychology Club, Student Rehabilitation Association (SRA), Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, and the Chi Sigma Iota International Honor Society.
