Special Opportunities

Regardless of your reason for choosing the Psychology Major, think about this major as more than a collection of required classes. Whether you are going to seek employment with your bachelor's degree or go on to graduate school, you should be thinking about developing both knowledge and skills through all of your college experiences. By the time you graduate, you should have developed a resumé that is rich with listing of your accomplishments both inside and outside of the classroom. This section of our website is designed to explain how Psychology fits into the overall bachelor's degree curriciulum at JMU, what's required within Psychology, and how to get involved with the special opportunities that Psychology offers that will give you the experiences you need to be successful.
