The purpose of this set of pages is to help you to select wisely from among our course offerings, and to point to some career possibilities either in psychology or related fields where psychology might be of help.
We strongly recommend that you seek advice from the faculty members of the Department of Psychology. If you are unable to set up an appointment with a faculty member, the Chief Advisor, Professor Mary Eberly, is often available during her office hours. For an appointment with an advisor, write your name next to a time block on the sign-up board next to Room 112.
The Psi Chi office also has information available for you concerning graduate programs, internships possibilities, volunteer activities, guest speakers, concentration in coordination with other majors, and other information which might assist you in your educational journey.
