Description
Summary:Most college and university professors devote more time to teaching than to research. For graduate students preparing for careers in academe, however, the emphasis is on research; typically, little or no time is devoted to the acquisition of teaching skills. The University of New Hampshire's doctoral program in psychology prepares students to be both researchers and teachers. Now in its 27th year, the program requires all third-year students to take a two-semester course, Seminar and Practicum in the Teaching of Psychology. Students perform well in the classroom, are successful in securing academic positions, and evaluate positively the program's dual emphasis on research and teaching.
