Some selected courses in education, sociology, political science, biology, and psychology are cross-listed to offer majors in each field the broad training expected of the liberal arts graduate. For example, majors in biology and psychology share the course in Animal Behavior housed in the biology department. Education and psychology majors share their respective views as they learn the Psychology of Exceptionality and study Psychological Testing together in the psychology department. Students benefit from the expertise of the different professors, the shared perspectives of their classmates, and the ambience of collaboration emphasized here at Centenary. We hope that you will join in these activities and expect to assume positions of leadership and participation in what will be YOUR major affiliation.
Students pool their resources to maximize their opportunities in psychology-related training.
Students have access to current files of graduate training programs and guidance for the selection of the best program to suit their needs. Psychology majors are encouraged to join the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society as student members. Centenary College is proud to have a chapter in Psi Chi , the National Honor Society in Psychology. Students must meet nationally-set qualifications to be invited to join Psi Chi based on academic performance in psychology courses and overall rank in class. Graduates with a bachelor's degree in psychology find employment as behavioral therapists, behavioral technicians, mental health technicians, case managers in Departments of Social Services, recreational technicians, and special education aides.
