Summer session registration starts soon. GW has several offerings in the Psych Department:
1. Health Promotion in Underserved Populations—the 14th year of this successful summer institute combining health psychology, multi-cultural psychology, and opportunities to do research or service internships in health-related areas. See http://summer.gwu.edu/health-promotion
2. Cognitive Neuroscience of Consciousness—the 3rd year of this in-depth look at the fascinating topic of consciousness and its neural basis, combining coursework on consciousness, cognitive neuroscience, and research. See http://summer.gwu.edu/cognitive-neuroscience
Each of these institutes involves up to 13 hours of focused coursework (you can take 9-10 if you’ve already had a course in the package). Each runs for 10 weeks and involves a 35% tuition discount and special field activities. Each is an opportunity for intensive study of an area of psychology as part of a small group of faculty and students. Each can help you achieve your goals—for example, prepare for graduate or professional study, speed completion of your degree, clear room in your schedule for study abroad during the academic year, immerse yourself in an area of interest.
Students must apply and be accepted to participate. If you would like an application form or have questions, just email the program director listed at the bottom of the link above.
3. Distance Education Offerings. The Department is offering five distance education courses this summer (You can take them from the beach!): General Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Eating Disorders (Psyc 3199, Special Topics: Eating Disorders), and Industrial/Organizational Psychology (Psyc 2544, taught by Organizational Sciences and Communication).
4. On-Campus Courses. Some of our basic courses such as Abnormal Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Health Psychology, and Research Methods are offered on campus if you’re here and need any of them.
