Psychology

This is a capstone course designed to review the academic work and empirical experiences of psychology majors in the field, but not excluding the incorporation of other academic and collegiate experiences from psychology's point of view. Additionally, this course provides students the opportunity to explore topics they deem important. The course helps prepare students for program completion and a smooth transition from collegiate to professional life. It also provides a review of the students' academic experiences and verifies that all of the collegiate co-curricular expectations have been met.

This course covers an introduction to the principles and techniques to counseling and psychotherapy with attention given to professional identity factors, theoretical and research foundations, counseling applications, current issues in therapeutic practice, and the place and obligations of the psychotherapist in the profession.

This course is intended to provide the opportunity to offer advanced courses in psychology that would not normally be a part of the Husson curriculum. As such the topics will depend upon the interests of students and faculty.
