psychology

The majority of Huntington’s psychology courses are discussion based classes that encourage students to talk about course content and make informed decisions about psychological issues. Psychology majors have the opportunity to interact with the psychology professors who challenge the students to learn and grow. Practicums offering practical experience are an encouraged part of the psychology curriculum. Students can be placed in psychology-related fields where they gain actual practice in using the knowledge they have learned in the classroom. Past students have completed practicums in a variety of areas, including counseling, welfare, youth services, and industrial- organizational development.

Psychology majors are capable of pursuing many jobs that are people-related. The majority of psychology majors choose a vocation in social service where they work in counseling or with youth; however, options in teaching, management, and other areas are also open to graduates with psychology degrees.
