The School of Arts and Sciences offers students six educational credentials:
- Doctor of Psychology in Counseling Psychology with Emphasis in Primary Care
- Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and Master of Arts in Religious Education (Online)
- Bachelor of Arts in Art, Communications, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Psychology, and Social and Behavioral Sciences
- Bachelor of Science in Biology, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Criminal Justice, Exercise Sports Science, Medical Imaging Sciences, and Psychiatric Rehabilitation (dual-degree program with Rutgers SHP).
- Two-year Associate degree in Liberal Arts with concentrations in any of the areas listed above.
- Certificate programs in Religious Studies, Graphic Design, Photography, Forensics, Criminal Justice, Exercise Science, Sports Management, and Humanities.
Flexibility characterizes the Arts and Sciences programs. While all students share a common core of liberal studies, students may also elect a single or double major, or an interdisciplinary major in the Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social and Behavioral Sciences, depending upon their educational goals.
Double Major: Qualified students may submit an intent to pursue a double major, preferably by the end of the freshman year. Students must receive approval from the Associate Dean who oversees the departments involved, and are expected to complete the major requirements of both departments.
Interdisciplinary Major: Students may elect one of the three interdisciplinary majors: Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, or Natural Sciences and Mathematics. They may follow the curriculum required for certain concentrations within these majors, or they may, in consultation with their advisor, design their own interdisciplinary focus. The latter must be coherent and focus on particular areas of investigation which, though not adequately included within a single department or discipline, are worthy of concentrated study. The interdisciplinary focus areas are addressed under the Humanities and Social and Behavioral Science majors.
Applications for interdisciplinary majors are available from the respective Associate Dean. Students are encouraged to file by the end of the freshman year and must file by the fourth week of the semester following completion of 60 credits.
Pre-Professional Advising Programs: The traditional and interdisciplinary majors at Felician University can provide excellent preparation for admission to law school, medical school, and graduate business programs, as well as advanced degree programs in the Arts and Sciences. In addition, the University has created several specifically designed Pre-Professional Advising Programs to provide students with the best preparation possible for law or medical school. Students planning to pursue professional post-graduate studies should consult, as early as possible, with their major program advisors to obtain further guidance in planning their academic programs.
Internships: Qualified students are encouraged to test their career goals in museums, libraries, businesses, hospitals, social and community agencies, and other appropriate professional settings. When carefully supervised according to program guidelines, the internship qualifies for academic credit.
