Curriculum Needs: Life Preparation for Undergraduate Psychology Majors

Abstract

The desirability of informing and developing psychology majors beyond the traditional academic curriculum was noted, with a perspective on life preparation. The content and conduct of a senior level psychology seminar for undergraduate majors was introduced. Suggested topics included career opportunities in psychology, alternative careers, graduate training, personal and fiscal development and management, resumes and correspondence, ethics, and problems and selected topics in psychology. Appreciable use of community resource persons and American Psychological Association's printed materials was stressed.
