学生 can complete many of the psychology degree requirements and parts or all of select minors (typically a cognate or sociology minor) at the Firelands campus, leaving the two upper level psychology laboratory courses and additional upper level arts and science courses to be completed at Bowling Green campus. Although this description lays out the general pathway, there is also considerable flexibility in how much time is spent at each campus and where certain courses are taken. For many psychology students, this collaboration can represent the best of both worlds: small college and big university!
Quality classroom experiences
Academic advisors work individually with students to plan their degree programs and small class sizes allow students to have close, personal contact with their professors. Free tutoring is readily available through the Teaching and Learning Center.
BGSU employs full-time psychology faculty, in addition to adjunct instructors, with a range of psychology experience and expertise spanning clinical psychology to social psychology to industrial/organizational psychology.
All psychology courses at BGSU Firelands are delivered entirely by Ph.D.-level instructors, all with class sizes of 40 students or fewer. These faculty collectively have ties with regional 业务es and national associations, have published notable research and publicly presented in fields ranging from positive psychology to personality assessment to the teaching of psychology, and are involved in local and community boards and governance related to psychology.
课程
Psychology is a scholarly discipline, a scientific field, and a professional activity. Its overall focus is on the study of both human and animal behavior and related mental and physiological processes. As a scholarly discipline, psychology represents a major field of study in academic settings, with emphasis on the communication and explanation of principles and theories of behavior. 作为一门科学, it is a focus of research through which investigators collect, 量化, 分析, and interpret data describing human and animal behavior, thus shedding light on the causes and dynamics of behavior patterns. 作为一种职业, psychology involves the practical application of knowledge, 技能, and techniques for the solution or prevention of individual or social problems; the professional role also provides an opportunity for the psychologist to develop further his/her understanding of human behavior and thus to contribute to the science of psychology.
