Opportunities

In addition to the regular curriculum in Psychology, there are several ways to broaden your experience in the field.

These include the opportunity to do research in one of the research labs in the department, or to do an internship in the community or industry. You could also pursue a Minor in Neurosciences.

To meet other very dedicated people who have chosen to study Psychology, you could join Psi Chi if you meet the entrance requirements.

There are also opportunities for you to study abroad.

Other options are listed in the frequent posts to the Psychology Majors E-News group where lots of opportunities are posted.

Psychology Graduate Students Are Being Published!

Our students are publishing and we want to share their publications with you! So next time you are going to a meeting in the big conference room or just walking down the hall, stop and check out the bulletin board located next to the entrance to 1142. The Graduate Office will be posting student publications there. Of course, there isn't room to
show the entire publication, but the cover page will be there and we will highlight a link to the article so that you can read it in its entirety later. New publications we will be posted every few weeks.
