Clubs & Organizations
Psychology students have many ways to participate outside the classroom. We have clubs and organizations for both undergraduate and graduate students, research labs for faculty-mentored experience and academic advising where you can connect with a faculty member to help you plan your academic program.
Psychology Club
The Psychology Club is open to all students interested in Psychology. The club assists Psychology majors with any questions that they might have about their major or future career options. Each year the club has a “Meet the Professors” event to give students interested in Psychology a chance to talk with professors in a more casual setting.
“The SHU Psychology Club is a club that is open arms to anyone who has an interest in Psychology and/or wants to learn more about psychology. We are a taking deeper look into what psychology is all about, as well as ways in which we can better prepare for graduate programs and other opportunities; which will help us with our future endeavors.” ~Alyssa Leva, Class of 2022

Psi Chi is the International Honor Society for Psychology majors, and the best of Sacred Heart University's Psychology students are inducted into the society each year. The Society sponsors scholarship opportunities and student research conferences.
