Internships and service learning give students opportunities to learn experientially how to bridge theory and practice. Cross-cultural approaches are included in many courses and students are encouraged to experience another culture through off-campus study or study abroad. Psychology is a diverse discipline and thus provides a solid background for graduate studies at the master's and doctoral levels in a variety of fields, such as social work, law, teaching, medicine, forensics, and clinical and counseling psychology.
