PSYC 400 Senior Seminar

This discussion-based seminar prepares psychology students to be life-long learners who can use psychology to make a positive difference. Students will read a selection of best-selling books popularizing research in various areas of psychology (e.g., cognitive, developmental, social, clinical). Students will lead group discussions critically evaluating that research and applying it to their personal lives and intended careers. Finally, as a capstone, students will compile psychological research that speaks to a chosen topic of concern, formulate evidence-informed recommendations, and communicate them in way that is accessible and compelling for a lay audience.
