Psychology Alumni Testimonials

"I tell everyone this, but honestly, you guys really prepared me well for success at the next level.  I was always turned to (by my peers in graduate school) for help with editing papers and with content materials.  I especially want to thank you for all the preparation and support you gave me in those four years.  It definitely helped make for a smoother time in grad school."

"I feel VERY MUCH prepared for graduate school.  My skills in analytical thinking about problems, research questions, operationalizing variables, and finding solutions are absolutely up to Harvard standards, thanks to you and the rest of my professors, all brilliant and amazing teachers and mentors."

"Thank you to you and the whole Psychology department. I feel like I got my money’s worth for the education I received at Stevenson. I know that part of it is taking the time to ask questions, make appointments, learn from my mistakes etc. but I feel it mostly has to do with the stellar teaching styles and the willingness to help students. You all truly take the time out to answer our e-mails and form personal yet professional relationships with your students so that we can get the absolute most of our education. I feel so well-prepared for graduate school and I know that because of my undergraduate education I will be able to excel in graduate school. So, thank you and the entire psychology department!"

"I feel so well prepared for what I am about to do and learn. Clearly, you all really did have us learning and thinking near graduate level and I am thankful for all of the thought and effort that you put into our education every day. Thank you for keeping students to high standards, the experience at SU was incredible and I am amazed at how similar the instruction methods and expectations are here (in graduate school)."
