Childhood Adversity
Senior Seminar in Psychology (PSY 4931) is a seminar-style course open to junior and senior undergraduates. In this class, we explore how childhood trauma impacts behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and biological functioning over the lifespan. This course is designed to introduce you to what graduate school is like—that is, diving deep into a topic and exercising critical thinking and writing skills. We will also focus on professional development, including how to write a personal statement and how to apply to graduate school or jobs. To learn more, check out the syllabus.
