\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2014 March 5, 2012 – The Department of Psychology at the 溏心vlog免费B站 is hosting a series of one-hour lectures and workshops during March and April to prepare students who are enrolled, or are considering enrolling, in the department for what types of careers they can pursue and what courses of study they must take.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cIt\u2019s mostly to help psychology majors, or people thinking about a career in psychology to be informed about what to expect once they graduate in the real world of psychology,\u201d said Uchenna Eneh, who is the assistant to the director of undergraduate psychology, Su Boatright-Horowitz.<\/p>\n


\nTo that end, several of the workshops focus on dispelling misconceptions about various careers, such as forensic psychology and school psychology.<\/p>\n


\nThe workshop entitled \u201cForensic Psychology: Much More Than CSI,\u201d for instance, focuses on showing students that what they see on the popular television police drama is not what they can expect if they pursue a career in that field. The program will be held April 9 at 2 p.m. in White Hall, Room 202. <\/p>\n
