Professional Development

Psychology and Professional Development is an exciting new course developed by Dr. Lenore Szuchman, Department Chair. It began in the Fall of 2005. As stated in the syllabus, “The purpose of the course is to enable students to understand their interests, their skills, their major and their career goals and to design an academic plan that will facilitate their ability to meet these goals successfully. Students will also be introduced to psychological research, APA style, critical thinking in psychology, psychological testing, interviewing techniques, and scientific presentation formats.”

New Course in Psychology

"As a student in PSY 241, I gained experience in public speaking, learned standard APA writing techniques, as well as ways to increase chances of employment. I feel that written assignments regarding the field of psychology not only enhanced my writing skills, but also helped to define my path as a psychology major.”

“The class was quite rewarding. It expanded my knowledge on the different types of careers in the world of psychology. The books that we used in the class were very helpful also. . “This class was great! Before this class I did not know what direction to go. Now I am more focused, I know what I want and I am more aware of what needs to be done. The only thing I regret is that Barry did not offer this class sooner.”
