Majors: Psychology (Community/Clinical) and Sociology (Applied Family Studies)

Walsh faculty and staff helped me prepare by helping me plan what I need to do in order to get into the graduate school that would fulfill my career goals. I was able to take part in independent studies to build my skills and I was able to take a variety of classes that exposed me to important concepts that are currently being utilized in my current studies at Wright State University's School of Professional Psychology doctoral program.
