Transition from an Interdisciplinary Bachelor Program to a Psychology Bachelor Program

In 2009, the Institute of Psychology-UFBA proposed the Concentration Area of Subjectivity and Human Behavior Studies as a transition from the Interdisciplinary Bachelor (IB) to the Psychology Bachelor. 13 IB students were chosen as research subjects. The theoretical-methodological model adopted was the System of Signs, Meanings and Practices, which addresses the object from actual, narrative and interpretive levels. : there is no difference in school performance levels between IB and other Psychology students; all IB students positively emphasized interdisciplinary training as relevant to the vocational course in Psychology; most of them recognized that their desire to study Psychology existed before entering IB, attributing to IB the maturing of their decision; the majority of them expect to work as psychologists, relying on the prior training acquired in IB.
