Education Abroad
Students majoring in Psychology have the unique opportunity to study abroad. Our students work directly with the Education Abroad Office to find an opportunity that best fits with their interests and needs.
Often, our students interested in education abroad will “save” free electives in their academic program so that they have flexibility in the courses they can take without the hassle or worry of a class not counting for a specific requirement.
