Honors in Psychology

The Psychology Department offers an Honors Program for students majoring in psychology who are capable of and want to undertake challenges above and beyond the regular major program. Successful completion of the Honors Program will provide added preparation for graduate study in psychology. This program is separate from the College's Honors Program. Eligible students may complete both programs.
