Operation College Search, Phase 2 of 2

This is part two of two. Plan to research and present on Thursday 6/2.

Choose your top three universities using part 1. For each of the universities, you will take an in-depth look at their Psychology Department. Answer the following for each university:

1. What graduate degrees are offered through the psych department? Be specific. (e.g. Master's in Marriage and Family Counseling; Ph.D. in Art Therapy)

2. Who are the professors in this department and what research are they currently working on? Look for famous names. Read their bios.

3. Look for news from the psych department on the university's main page. What psych-related items are in the headlines?

Make a powerpoint or navigate us through the website on the overhead projector as you present your findings.

Apply Yourself! Operation College Search Phase 1 of 2

Hello all!

Well, AP exams are over and now we're looking forward to the summer. Be sure you include college applications and SAT/ACT test prep in your summer plans and have your ducks in a row before you leave us!

Here's a project to get you started on the path to your ultimate academic goals.

Phase 1
Use the APPLY YOURSELF STUDENT GUIDE found in the link below to do the first part of your project.
In class, read (skim) through the first 13 pages of the guide.

ON YOUR OWN PAPER, COMPLETE PAGE 15 FIRST, THEN PAGE 14. 
The reason I ask you to first do page 15, is that you will look at your top 3 university choices online and compare the basics. THEN, Page 14 then asks you for more details about just one. Choose one of your top three to complete page 14.

Pages 15 and 14 are due to the sub in class today.


Phase 2 of the is assignment will be to research the psychology departments of your top university choice(s). Stay tuned for the next post :)
