The Bachelor of Science in Psychology (BS Psychology) program is offered by the College of Arts and Sciences under the Department of Social Sciences (DSS). With the approved BOR Resolution No. 57, series of 2001, the offering of the program began in the academic year 2002-2003 with around 90 enrollees. The program can be taken as a regular four (4) – year course offering. First 35 graduates under the program acquired their degree in 2006.

     The Bachelor of Science in Psychology was offered in Cavite State University as result of the career and information service given by the Office of Student Affairs to different high schools in Cavite. The interest of high schoolers was evident on the school-to-school survey and campaign given by the guidance counselors. Further feasibility studies, in coordination with the high school guidance counselors, strengthen the need to offer BS Psychology in CvSU, particularly in the main campus.

     The first Psychology Program Coordinator was Ms. Joy G. Novero, designated in 2010. Under her supervision, the first revision of the curriculum was approved on March 2010, with BOR Resolution No. 110 dated March 10, 2010. The second revision was approved on June 21, 2016 with BOR Resolution No. 33, series of 2016, abiding by CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) 38, series of 2010. Ms. Novero was succeeded by the current Dean, Dr. Armi Grace B. Desingaño, in 2017. Dr. Desingaño was then succeeded by Dr. Paulito V. Hilario in 2018. The BS Psychology curriculum was further monitored, reviewed, and revised by the DSSH curriculum review committee in accordance with the policies and minimum standard requirements of CMO No. 34, series of 2017 (Policies and Standards for Undergraduate Programs in Psychology); CMO No. 20, series 2013 (General Education Curriculum: Holistic Understandings, Intellectual and Civic Competencies); and CMO 4, series 2018 (Policy on the Offering of Filipino and Panitikan Subjects in all Higher Education Programs as Part of the New General Education Curriculum). It was subsequently presented and endorsed by the CAS academic council and CvSU university council to the Board of Regents for approval.

     In pursuant of continuously upgrading the quality of BS Psychology program, it was subjected to a number of accreditation evaluations by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP). It successfully passed the Level 3 Phase 1 AACCUP Accreditation during its visit on May 7-9, 2019 and May 2-4, 2018.

     The graduates of BS Psychology program are equipped with necessary knowledge and skills, attitudes and values, ethics and competence that enable them to practice their profession as competent psychology practitioners in the educational, industrial, and clinical fields, and other related areas. They were able to pursue careers in guidance and counseling, rehabilitation and psychological treatments, psychological assessment, human resource and recruitment, government and non-government institutions and the academe. Since the implementation of the Psychology Act of 2009 (RA 10029), many graduates successfully passed the Board Licensure Examination for Psychologists and Psychometricians (BLEPP). Up to date, 565 graduates are registered psychometricians and there has been a consistent increase in the institutional passing rate. The latest BLEPP result held last August 2024 was 75.36% for first-time test takers, surpassing the national passing rate of 69.68%.
