Student Learning Outcomes
My psychology degree was helpful in my career by giving me an opportunity to intern in the field and gain invaluable experience. My favorite class was Abnormal Psychology in which I learned more about mental illness and was educated on the DSM. This solidified my choice in continuing my education in order to become a Licensed Professional Counselor.
