WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGY?

sychology as a science is the study of
how people perceive, think, feel and act.
As a profession, psychology aims to predict
how people will act, and helps individuals,
organizations, and communities change.
sychologists study the entire range of
human behavior, including biological bases
of behavior, learning and memory,
developmental processes, organizational
behavior, and abnormal behavior.

WHY MAJOR IN PSYCHOLOGY?

Many students major in psychology
to provide the foundation for the further
graduate study necessary to become a
rofessional psychologist. Others use the
sychology major as preparation for
graduate study in related areas, such as
social work, child and family therapy,
counseling, medicine, or law. Still others
find that the study of psychology provides
a liberal arts education that they might use
in positions such as sales or management
training.

CAREERS IN PSYCHOLOGY?

sychologists are involved in a wide
variety of activities, including teaching,
research and direct practice with individuals,
families and organizations. The professional
sychologist will find that psychology as a
career offers reasonable financial rewards
along with the satisfaction of doing work that
is important and helps others.

sychology is one of the top growth
fields in projected employment opportunities.
There are limited employment opportunities
with the B.A. degree in the human services
field, and graduate study is necessary in
order to become a fully qualified professional
sychologist.

WHY STUDY PSYCHOLOGY AT ECU?

The Department of Psychology at East
Carolina University is large enough to
rovide a wide range of opportunities and
experiences, while being small enough to
allow for personal interaction with faculty
and other students. The program provides a
broad base of knowledge in the core areas of
sychology as preparation for future
graduate study. Electives and minor areas of
study provide for tailoring a program to
meet your particular interests. The
Department has computer labs for use with
some courses, such as Statistics and

Experimental Psychology. The opportunity "

to participate in faculty research, and to do
independent study and research can add to
the academic experience for the motivated
student.

The Department supports an active
chapter of Psi Chi, the National Psychology
Honor Society.

A number of scholarships are available
to undergraduates upon the recommenda-
tion of the faculty. These include the UBE
Scholarship, the Moore Scholarship, and the
si Chi Scholarship.
