Psychology is an exciting field focusing on the study of the

human mind and behavior. Some students pursue psychology

simply because they’re interested in people and what makes

them tick. Others pursue the major to prepare for a career in

psychology or social work.

The Wesleyan Fellows program will enrich your college

experience and enhance your career opportunities. This grant-

based work-study program encourages creative thinking and

resourceful problem-solving. You will gain valuable knowledge

and skills with a Wesleyan professor or an off-campus

supervisor as your mentor. For more information on Wesleyan Fellows, visit kwc.edu/wesleyan-fellows.

A psychology major provides students with an excellent background for applying to graduate school in

psychology and ultimately becoming a practicing psychologist. A bachelor’s degree in psychology is also

excellent preparation for careers in fields such as business, law and social work.

We have well established relationships with many agencies in Owensboro and surrounding communities so our

students can gain practical experience and better prepare for life after

Kentucky Wesleyan College. Options include:

Undergraduate research experiences.

Research project in senior capstone course.

Psychology Club Psych Bowl Competition.
