Outstanding
Faculty The faculty in Psychology come from the
finest universities across the U.S. They are nationally competitive in their
teaching and research endeavors and represent a diverse community of scholars.
Outstanding
Programs The undergraduate program provides excellent
training as part of a liberal arts education and for students wishing to attend
graduate school in psychology. The presence of the graduate programs in CLINICAL
and EXPERIMENTAL psychology insures that the undergraduate program is supported
with high-level expertise.
The
Community OXFORD is consistently on lists of
the most pleasant places to live in the U.S. It is a beautiful, friendly, and
safe community where students are appreciated. You can sit on a bench with Falkner,
visit one of the most famous independent bookstores, or just enjoy the beautiful
square where major motion pictures that re-create the vintage south are shot.
Dedicated
People The program is small enough that the
Chair, faculty and staff can provide individual attention to the needs of
psychology majors. It is also large enough that they can provide the scope
and diversity of training so important in today's complex world.
Beyond
the Classroom Students have opportunities beyond
the usual classes such as PSI CHI, the national organization for students
in psychology and internship opportunities with local agencies such as the
Regional Center for children with special needs. Some students work with faculty
on research projects.
Career
Options Psychology overlps with almost every
vocational field. With other liberal arts training, it is a good foundation
for almost any career that is complimented by a knowledge of human behavior.
Students interested in graduate school will find that the program provides
the preparation needed to be competitive in this professional area.
The
Campus The OLE MISS campus is one of the most
beautiful in the U.S. Come see for yourself and enjoy the azaleas blooming
in the spring and the magnolias all year round. Just changing classes is an
asthetic experience!

shy students, foreign students, gay students, artistic students, ambitious
students, students from the delta, students from California, religious students,

and yourself.
Sports
Football, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, track, cheerleading, fencing,
volleyball, swimming, whiffle ball, frisbee golf--you get the point. You can
participate or just watch. Join in the fun of tailgaiting before the game
or watching your friends take on their friends in intramural sports.

Life 200 special-interest organizations invite
you to participate. Enjoy theater, fitness centers, chapel, art galleries,
the student union, benches in quiet places, hard-wired web access in every
dorm room, cable TV, and thousands of others looking for a date on Friday
night. Oh yes, and music, music, music.
Entertainment
and Leisure Restaurants, bands, bookstores,
movies, boating on Sardis lake, hiking, biking and a wonderful new playground
for children. Graceland is an hour away and New Orleans is a half-day drive.
If you get bored at Ole Miss, it's your own fault.
