Psychology Student Perspective

“I came to Albertus because I had a great opportunity to play softball.

I didn’t know that once I decided to major in psychology how much of an impact the program would have on me.

I got an internship at the Friends Center for Children and was offered a position there working as an aide for special needs children.”

Maxine majored in Psychology and played both softball and basketball. She plans to graduate with an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling in 2021.
