Regardless of career aspirations, knowledge of psychology can provide excellent preparation for anyone who has a fundamental interest in the behavior, thinking, and feelings of humans and animals. Students who study psychology go on to have careers not only as professional psychologists, therapists, or researchers, but also may enter fields such as law, medicine, business, or education. With a faculty that is actively involved in research and a sophisticated physiological and experimental research laboratory, students have the opportunity to pursue independent study and research.

Ivo Gyurovski '09 embarked on an exciting academic career after his graduation from Hampden-Sydney College. Immediately following graduation, he began work on his MA at William & Mary. His research has focused on the use of psychophysiological methods to study personality, stereotyping, and social cognition. He has also studied the role of attention in social perception. He is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Chicago.
