YOUR LIFE AS A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR AT NORWICH
Imagine our faculty immersing you into the study of humans: emotions, motivations, aesthetic appreciation and experience, creativity, and how we relate to the people around us and the world. And picture yourself also studying biological and social science subject matter and methodologies. Choose either a BA or BS program in Psychology.
Engage in a discipline that fascinates you from experimental, social, developmental, and/or clinical perspectives. Concentrate in Neuroscience or Criminology. Minor in Forensic Psychology, Cross-Cultural Psychology, Political Psychology, Leadership, or Engineering Psychology. Or earn a BS in Education, which leads to licensure or non-licensure in Elementary and Secondary Teaching. Experiment in the active research labs that support student research—including studies as various as EEG, eye-tracking, psychophysiology and even flight simulation.
THINK LIKE A GRADUATE STUDENT IN SENIOR YEAR
Challenge yourself as you develop your Senior Thesis and dive into the real-world of psychological research. Maximize the opportunity to engage in archival research, develop an original hypothesis and experimental design, submit a proposal to the Norwich Institutional Review Board (IRB) and conduct a research study. You will be ready to skillfully present your research at a professional conference. It will also serve to propel you into graduate school. Or create a work portfolio for careers requiring a background in psychology.
