What are Psychology majors doing?
To prepare you for a career in psychology, all psychology majors conduct original research and most student projects are presented at regional undergraduate or professional conferences. Recent majors have presented at the Blue Ridge Undergraduate Research Conference, Southeastern Psychological Association, and the Eastern Psychological Association.
Students studying psychology are encouraged to participate in an internship that serves the community where they hope to work. Recent majors have worked in mental health facilities, school systems, crisis prevention organizations, non-profit organizations, local businesses and correction facilities.
