Tri-State University’s psychology major is one of the more popular on campus. You will have the further opportunity, as many do, to double major in both psychology and criminal justice, which is one of the nation's fastest growing job fields.

Our department offers students the option of taking practicum courses, which allow a practical, hands-on experience in psychology and related areas. For instance, students have spent time in school psychologists' offices, hospitals, treatment centers, forensic psychology settings, child centers, and the like. An exceptional variety of internship opportunities are available throughout the region. Further, students have been placed in residential programs for troubled children and teens. In fact, you may be able to register for a summer internship near where you live, an option several students take advantage of each year.

I would like you to know that many of our psychology majors have obtained jobs through these internships, which makes our program quite useful as a link to future occupational opportunities.
