that occur along a
supply chain. The
primary objective is
to ensure that
students can
diagnose problems

situations that
occur in supply
chains.

COURSE CHANGE: PSY
4421 (Death & Dying)
to PSY 2421
Purpose and nature
of change:
Change course
number on PSY 4421,
Death and Dying, to
PSY 2421
Rationale for
Number Change:
The course is of
broad interest to
students at all
levels. It
meets both Global
Awareness and
Wellness
designations in the
General Education
Program. The
only pre-requisite
for the course is
PSY 1101. When
the course was
initiated, it was
given 4xxx status so
it could be
cross-listed as a
graduate course to
serve students in
the now-closed
graduate program in
Community-Clinical
Psychology.
The course hasn’t
been taught at the
graduate level in
nearly 10 years.
Experience has shown
that the course is
better suited to be
offered at the
lower-division
level. Course
assignments and
expectations for
student work will
match the level of
the course.

DEGREE PROGRAM
Offered by the
Department of
Psychology
Professors Craig,
Launius, Loher,
Murray (chairperson)
Associate
Professor Brown
Assistant
Professors
Sechrist, Verno
The Psychology
Department offers a
B.S. degree in
Psychology with
concentrations in
General Psychology,
Counseling, Lifespan
Development,
Mind/Body Health and
Human Resource
Management. The
Psychology major is
chosen by students
who (1) plan
advanced study in
the field, (2)
intend to seek
employment in a
related area upon
graduation, or (3)
seek a liberal arts
background within
the Psychology
major. Many
graduates enter
master’s degree
programs in
counseling or
related fields.
Minors are available
to non-majors in
Psychology and
Psychology of Human
Development. The
Psychology minor
provides a general
survey of the field.
The Psychology of
Human Development
minor provides more
focused study in
areas of child,
adolescent, and
adult development.
Careful advisement
of students is a
priority of the
Psychology
Department. All
students must
complete a thorough
orientation to the
major, and their
subsequent studies
are guided by a
goal-oriented
process. All
students maintain a
portfolio to assess
their learning and
guide their academic
and professional
development. The
portfolio is
submitted for final
review in
conjunction with the
department’s senior
seminar course.
Students are
involved in various
forms of research
under faculty
direction. Students
present their
research at the
annual Psychology
Research Symposium.
Many students report
the internship to be
an important part of
their educational
experience. For
some, the internship
leads directly to
employment. The
Psychology
Department maintains
relationships with a
broad range of
organizations that
offer internships in
counseling, other
human services,
health care, or
business. To qualify
for an internship,
students must
maintain a B average
in the major.
Advisors work
closely with
students to plan the
internship and
ensure that the
experience is
successful.
All students in the
major must obtain
grades of C or
higher in PSY 1101
and either PSY 1151
or PSY 3353
(whichever they take
upon entering the
major) to continue
in the program.
Students may retake
these courses once
to meet the
standard. Those who
fail to meet the
standard may not
continue in the
major and will be
advised in the
selection of a new
major.
To meet requirements
for graduation as a
Psychology major,
students must (1)
satisfy the
University’s general
education and degree
requirements, (2)
complete the
Psychology course
requirements, and
(3) submit an
acceptable
portfolio.

Human Resource

Concentration
Psychology
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Psychology
Department offers a
B.S. degree in
Psychology with a
concentration in
Human Resource
Management (HRM).
The concentration is
designed to provide
the knowledge,
skills and
experiences needed
to fulfill
traditional and
emerging roles in
HRM. Students who
have interests in
both psychology and
management often
select this option.
Recent graduates
from the program
have gone on to
entry-level HRM
positions in
manufacturing,
health care,
government, and
other settings.
Graduates have also
pursued advanced
study in HRM,
industrial/organizational
psychology, labor
relations, and
business. The
program combines
extensive coursework
in psychology with
relevant classes
from other
departments,
including Business
and Communication.
Careful advisement
of students is a
priority of the
Psychology
Department. All
students must
complete a thorough
orientation to the
major, and their
subsequent studies
are guided by a
goal-oriented
process. All
students maintain a
portfolio to assess
their learning and
guide their academic
and professional
development. The
portfolio is
submitted for final
review in
conjunction with the
department’s senior
seminar course.
Students are
involved in various
forms of research
under faculty
direction. Students
present their
research at the
annual Psychology
Research Symposium.
Historically,
many HRM
students have
interned in a broad
range of
organizations,
consistent with
their career goals.
Many students report
the internship to be
an important part of
their educational
experience. For
some, the internship
leads directly to
employment. To
qualify for an
internship, students
must maintain a B
average in the
major. Advisors work
closely with
students to plan the
internship and
ensure that the
experience is
successful.
All students in the
major must obtain
grades of C or
higher in PSY 1101
and PSY 1151 to
continue in the
program. Students
may retake these
courses once to meet
the standard. Those
who fail to meet the
standard will be
advised in the
selection of a new
major.
To meet requirements
for graduation as a
Psychology-Human
Resource Management
major, students must
(1) satisfy the
University’s general
education and degree
requirements, (2)
complete the
Psychology course
requirements, and
(3) submit an
acceptable
portfolio.
