In many respects, academic programs are only as good as the students who enroll in them. In the School of Behavioral Sciences and Education, we take great pride in the caliber of our students, and believe it is our good fortune to be able to interact with them on a professional basis.
Our Students
Our students can be described in essentially four ways: non-traditional, mature, bright, and career-oriented.
Although we enroll many traditional-aged students at the College, our School attracts many students who are returning to school after having raised a family or who have decided to make a mid-career change. Because these students have sampled life and its attending hardships, they tend to be unusually mature and conscientious. In taking on an academic life while frequently working to pay for it, these students must assume multiple roles at the same time. Often, they must function as spouses, parents, employees, students, and preservice professionals--each of which could be considered a full time undertaking of its own.
Overall we find our students to be intellectually curious and talented, and they have clear professional objectives. What binds all of our students across each of our programs is a desire to engage in human advocacy and community service.
Student Organizations
Several excellent student organizations are affiliated with the School. The organizations include:
- Psi Chi - the national honor society for psychology
- Psychology Club
- Pi Gamma Mu - the Social Sciences national honor society
- The International Affairs Association
- The Community Psychology Club
- Kappa Delta Pi
- The Future
- Secondary Teachers Club and national honor society for undergraduate Education majors
The clubs and honor societies have a genuine community orientation and work diligently on many service projects.
