Description
Students may also receive formal training and experience in the teaching of psychology and exposure to didactics regarding ethical issues involved in research and education. Each student’s faculty mentor, along with the student’s master’s thesis, qualifying examination and doctoral dissertation committees are critical in helping the individual student to develop a personalized program of study. It is important for students to work closely with their mentors and area heads to ensure progress toward their career goals.

            2. These courses are ordinarily taken during the first and second semester, respectively, of the first year in the graduate program. Details of other course requirements are area dependent and determined by the student’s advisory committee.
              Not resolved to a course
            3. Completion of PSYC 590 Teaching of Psychology (two credits). It is recommended that this course be taken very early in a student’s training because it is required for summer and winter teaching opportunities. Students in the behavioral neuroscience and cognitive and brain sciences programs must also teach a lecture course. Although completion of PSYC 590 Teaching of Psychology is no longer required of clinical psychology students, it is required for those who wish to teach as instructor of record while at Binghamton University and strongly recommended for those who wish to teach in their career.
