The Psychology Department emphasizes career development activities designed to enhance students’ graduate school and employment opportunities. Students are encouraged to participate in internships that develop important skills through practical field experience. Internship placements have included mental health centers, community service organizations, schools, child development centers, and research positions at a local medical school. Psychology Department faculty are active scholars who are committed to engaging students in research. Students are encouraged to be research assistants on faculty projects and also conduct their own studies. Our students routinely present their work at regional and national conferences such as the Midwestern Psychological Association and American Psychological Association. The department also offers career development opportunities like mock interviews and workshops for getting into graduate school to support students’ career goals and aspirations.
