Quality

The psychology program engages many students in high impact practices (HIPs) such as service or community based learning, research opportunities, fieldwork/internships, and first year seminars on psychological topics. We also engage students in other co-curricular activities that enrich the quality of their undergraduate experience, i.e., the Psi Chi Honor Society, the mentor-mentee program, spiritual mentoring, and collaborations with the Student Success Center, to name a few.

On our quality page here, we will highlight our undergraduate research and honor society (Psi Chi). Details on the other aspects can be found in our program review.

Undergraduate Research

Our majors have multiple routes by which they may engage in research, including our psychology honors research program, Psyc 290/490 research credit, and working with faculty members on research awards from the Dean’s office.

Psi Chi Honor Society

Our majors have the opportunity to join the Psi Chi Honor Society if they maintain a specific GPA. Psi Chi provides opportunities for students to take leadership positions and to engage in professional development events. Annually, Psi Chi holds important events such as the graduate school panel for students interested in applying to graduate school.
