Features The psychology program at Armstrong is strongly based in the scientific tradition. Psychology majors are trained to use the tools of study through multiple experiences in original, independent research. Students become familiar with the history of the discipline, reading the literature and communicating about issues related to psychology. They are also made aware of the diversity of humankind and the importance of ethical principles and behaviors. Faculty members, all of whom hold doctoral degrees, represent a broad range of expertise within numerous fields of psychology, The opportunity to interact with faculty is a hallmark of the division.
Students discuss and conduct research with faculty who are trained in their areas of interest.
The faculty is student-oriented and dedicated to providing an encouraging and supportive environment. The atmosphere is relaxed and students are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the division and campus life. As a result, many students have presented their research at professional conferences. An additional strength of the program is The E.B. Twitmyer Society, Armstrong Atlantic State University's psychology club, which sponsors a variety of activities for students. The group schedules speakers for workshops and luncheons, along with social events and community service projects.
