Study Away Trips and Study Abroad
As a psychology student, you would have many opportunities for study-abroad trips within the United States and abroad. These trips are typically centered around a specific course and take the learning outside of the classroom. Students learn about other countries and cities, their cultures and their unique histories.
Students Grow in Learning and Relationship Building
Pam found her passion for psychology with the support of her Student Success Advisor.
“Psychology classes are much more interactive,” Pam said. “You can give life examples. You can do them in class and that’s a lot of fun.” Pam has connected with her psychology professors and student success advisors.  She had been nervous about attending a larger university. CSM provided the support she needed as she began her college career.
