Undergraduate Student Enhancement Fund
The Department of Psychology prepares undergraduate students to be the leaders of tomorrow—to apply the theoretical and methodological tools of psychology to address challenges across the social, civic, and employment landscape. We teach our students fundamental scientific methods, help them develop their critical thinking and communication skills, and provide them opportunities to translate research knowledge into practical impact.

Graduate Pathway
The graduate pathway for psychology majors is either a professional pathway (psychology in practice/applied psychology, law or medicine) or a research pathway (academic/research in psychology). A master’s degree usually requires 2 to 3 years of course work after the bachelor’s degree and a PhD will take 5 to 7 years beyond the bachelor’s. The selection of a master’s or doctorate degree should be based on interest in either practice or research and on commitment level.

Lecture topic introduction slide sets
Lecture topic introduction slides are graphically-designed with full-slide, engaging, and relevant images. Faculty simply submit a list of their lecture topics (or come for instruction) and obtain a full set of lecture introductory slides. These slides serve to welcome students to the classroom and pique their interest regarding the upcoming lecture.
