Being in a place that’s growing, improving, and on a mission to get better is inspiring.

The ultimate goal of the class was to travel to Kenya to put our classroom learning to use in a hands-on setting. We did just that.

You can't top the biology labs and the classes that are offered at Â黨ÊÓƵ.

Through the internship program in Â黨ÊÓƵ's psychology department, I was able to gain invaluable work experience that not only prepared me for graduation, but helped me to decide what kind of setting I wanted to work in.

I honestly do not believe that I would be where I am if it were not for the education I received at Â黨ÊÓƵ. In my first semester of graduate school, I quickly realized that my education surpassed many of my fellow classmates who also majored in psychology.

Being given the chance to work so closely with my professor was a unique opportunity that you don’t often find at other universities.

The opportunity for independent study and research with faculty was incredibly useful to me in my continuing professional/academic career.

Working in the research setting taught me how to think critically and how to apply all the theories and knowledge learned in class to the real world.

What I like most about being a Neuroscience major is all the different courses I am able to take. I have the opportunity to take psychology, biology, and chemistry courses, in addition to the core neuroscience courses.

When the new Neuroscience major was developed, I was immediately interested. This program is the perfect fit for me.

[Working as a lab assistant] allowed me to combine all of my lab research, work semi-independently within a laboratory setting, and explore one of my own interests while still furthering the research of the lab.

[The Neuroscience] program stuck out to me because it offered unique experience on the cutting edge in the classroom and in the laboratory.

One of the reasons I love my major so much is because all my professors have brought their real life experiences into each of their classes, which shows the students how much they love their work and want to share their experiences with the students.

My animal behavior background has provided a useful baseline of knowledge for my continued education. Specifically, as an animal behavior major, I learned to think about animals in a way that many other people will never see them.

Though the ANB major, I learned about different types of training, the physiology of the brain, and read numerous behavioral studies that allowed me to learn from experiments that already occurred.

My experience conducting guided and independent research in Dr. Dzieweczynski’s lab as well as my time as a teaching assistant for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy have prepared me to hit the ground running.

My favorite thing about the Animal Behavior program was how excited the professors were about what they were teaching. Having them as interested in the subject as they were made it much more fun to go to class.

The best thing about the Animal Behavior major is what you learn. Since animals can't tell us how they feel/what they think, we have to find other ways to discover that.

The Department of Psychology has engaging professors that are always willing to lend a hand and are accommodating to even the busiest of schedules.
