Promotional Piece
This
section consists of a document we have written for promotional purposes
to be put mainly in the hands of prospective students, but we felt it was
important for all current psychology students to see this document as
well. This promotional piece, as we call it, provides a quick glimpse of
our department, our major, and our students.
Students in the Psychology Department at
Culver-Stockton College can expect (1) a strong and balanced curriculum
that will prepare them for either immediate entry into the job market or
graduate school, (2) an established and regular course cycling that
facilitates course planning, (3) considerable individual attention, (4) a
focus on improving their methodological (research) skills as well as
their abilities to speak, write, and think critically, and (5) a variety
of out-of-class opportunities in which to learn and explore the field
(e.g., research, internships, and Psychology Club).
Students give our program high marks when
rating their satisfaction with course content, instruction, out-of-class
availability of instructors, attitude of the faculty toward students,
availability of advisors, value of information provided by advisors, and
satisfaction with career preparation received.
Our students are nudged, nurtured, and given
encouragement to get involved in their discipline. The attached fact
sheets about the department show some of the opportunities available and
reveal some of the outcomes of our efforts. Students do get involved and
their preparation successfully and consistently leads them to jobs in the
field or graduate school.
In sum, we feel that we have a
relatively unique program in that we provide not only a strong curriculum
and significant career preparation, but also very personalized,
individual attention. We know our students well and because of that, it
is difficult, if not possible, for them to "get lost" among the
masses.
