In addition, we are committed to offering the courses necessary to ensure that students who follow the program of study will graduate within four years. Toward that end we have developed a typical four-year program of study that serves as a guide for students' schedules each term, specifies required courses and recommended sequencing of courses, and advises students to enroll in an average of 30 semester hours each year. The psychology department faculty provided additional opportunities for student success and growth with the rich variety of research projects currently underway. All students are encouraged to develop personal and professional relationships with the individual faculty and to work with them in the laboratory or in the community settings where the research takes place. We also provide opportunities for service learning experiences, internships, and volunteer work in a number of placement sites in and around the middle Georgia area.
Many students later pursue advanced training in psychology, neurobiology, or counseling.
