Being a Psychology student at Miami University is more than just the classes. We're here to help you with career advising, clubs, internships, study abroad, volunteering, and so much more.
The Center for Psychological Inquiry (CPI) is a resource for psychology students to facilitate their learning and engagement in psychology. In general, the CPI is intended to provide students with an opportunity to develop a sense of community within the psychology department.
The CPI provides students with resources to assist them in their coursework, learn about opportunities in the department as well as direct students to appropriate resources for exploring career opportunities that await psychology majors, including applying to graduate school.
Internships can provide valuable, experiential learning experiences that complement classroom learning. A variety of volunteer opportunities are also available in the community.
Students can earn course credit, ranging from 0 to 6 credit hours. The number of credit hours earned depends on the number of hours the student works at an internship site.

The Psychology of Dogs club will provide students of all majors with opportunities to learn about and discuss psychological research relating to dogs, as well as a platform to conduct research projects. The club will take a hands-on approach to learning by including volunteer opportunities, field trips, and speakers as a key part of meetings. The goal is to include students that are not psychology majors, but who are interested in learning more about man's best friend.
