Description

442: Senior Seminar: Applied.
Goal: To encourage the senior student to make connections between a specific content/research area within psychology and a focused content/research area in an academic discipline outside of psychology. Seniors in psychology should already have focused research interests within psychology. This seminar allows students to broaden this focus and apply knowledge gained in psychology to other, relevant areas of study within the liberal arts. Inherently integrative, this course serves as an option for the integrative component within the psychology major.
Content: Students complete an interdisciplinary independent research project in which they design a detailed program that addresses a pressing social problem, such as teenage pregnancy, school violence, or homelessness.
Taught: Fall.
Prerequisites: PSY 101, MAT 220, PSY 230, PSY 305 and senior standing.
Credit: 3 hours.
