Online Degrees in Behavioral Sciences

Behavioral science is the study of what motivates people's actions. Many professionals who pursue a degree in behavioral sciences become clinical psychologists, who work with patients to overcome their mental, social, and behavioral problems. A degree in behavioral sciences can provide a valuable background for positions in counseling, mediation, law enforcement, and productivity enhancement.

Some people may confuse degrees in behavioral sciences with degrees in social sciences, since both degrees include the study of human behavior. Social science degree programs focus on how groups are structured and organized, and lead to fields in sociology, economics, and public health, among others. Behavioral science degree programs focus on how individuals make decisions and communicate within groups, and lead to fields like psychology and neuroscience, among others.

Coursework in behavioral science degree programs may include:
  • General psychology
  • Life-span development
  • Cross-cultural studies
  • Group dynamics
  • Child and adolescent psychologyn
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment for professionals in behavioral science and psychology is expected to grow faster than average through 2014. While no degree can guarantee a particular position or salary, the demand for trained behavioral science professionals should provide ample opportunities for degree-holders this field.
