Department facilities in the Priscilla Payne Hurd Academic Complex include
classrooms and laboratories, an animal room, research rooms, and supporting library space.
Equipment includes operant chambers and related electromechanical devices, physiological
apparatus, and computers. All members of the Moravian College community have access to
networked Windows and Macintosh microcomputers in the academic computing laboratory.
The lab provides laser printing capabilities for Macintosh and Windows computers. Students
with their own computers who purchase a network kit from the Center for Information Technology
may connect to the campus network directly from their dormitory rooms. This connection
provides 24-hour access to network services, including printing, file servers, electronic
mail, and the Internet, plus storage for personal files and access to campus software
programs needed for academic pursuits.
Students have had field study placement at varied service agencies, health
care settings, and businesses. There are frequently opportunities to work with faculty
members on their research, and many students pursue independent studies or honors research.
Students are encouraged to present research at one or both of two major annual conferences:
the Lehigh Valley Undergraduate Psychology Conference or the Psi Chi Undergraduate Research
Symposium, held in conjunction with meetings of the Eastern Psychological Association.
In addition to an active Psychology Club, the department sponsors a chapter of Psi Chi,
the national honorary society in psychology, and a student chapter of the Society for
Human Resource Management.
