The Psychology Club schedules student social events related to psychology. Psi Chi sponsors guest speakers on relevant topics and hosts an event to honor graduating seniors. Service learning and internships are available in Columbia hospitals, numerous clinics and a variety of human service agencies ranging from group homes for troubled youth to a women's shelter. These experiences assist students in clarifying and working toward career goals. A minor in psychology also is offered and selected by many students who choose to major in communications, business or some fine arts.
Faculty members provide individual assistance in discovering and developing students' abilities.
