The Psychology Department is mostly housed in Hill Hall, with some members in the Alumni Center and Professional Building. The central office and faculty mailboxes are located in Hill 109, and the Department Head's office is in Hill 101. Within the department, Bachelor degree programs are offered in both Psychology & Gerontology.  The Psychology Advisement Office is located in Hill Hall room 313 (836-6841).  Our faculty consists of about 33 regular full-time members, with several additional part-time members. The vast majority of the members of the faculty have their doctorates. All faculty members have direct contact with students through teaching. Some also are engaged in research involving student assistants. You are encouraged to become involved in this research, especially if you are thinking about entering graduate school. Most of our faculty members also serve as advisors.

The Department provides you a variety of services and facilities. You may participate in field experiences or research. You may individualize your studies through directed readings and special topics courses. We also encourage you to participate in volunteer activities in the community, the Psychology Club, Psi Chi (the Psychology Honorary), and local and state Psychological associations. Involvement in these activities enhances your personal and professional growth, and makes your classroom experiences more meaningful.

A major in Psychology can be designed as a broad liberal arts degree or can be focused for graduate school preparation. Although some of our graduates go on to graduate school, most stop their formal education with the B.S. or B.A. The Psychology major, combined with a supportive minor, can be a strong liberal arts degree. Frequently, interviewers who come to campus say they are looking for any B.S. or B.A. degree. However, many of them prefer Psychology majors. If you want to pursue graduate training in Psychology or related fields, the Psychology major provides strong preparation.
