Independent Study
One of my favorite things about the psychology department is how accommodating and eager to help you accomplish your goals professors are. One of the limitations invariably accompanying small universities is the breadth of courses a department can offer. The psychology department does a surprisingly good job covering all the subfields in psychology (social, cognitive, abnormal, clinical, developmental…), but for those cases in which students are left craving to delve into a specific topic, the department offers a virtual panacea: the ability to carry out an independent study. In my case, I seek to pursue a Ph.D. In cognitive and affective neuropsychology, so this is exactly the tittle of one of the courses I will take next semester! I will make arrangements with the appropriate professor (a cognitive neuropsychologist), and I will follow the coursework we come up with after discussing the goals and expectations I have in undertaking an independent study. Talk about ideal courses!
