The Psychology department at West Liberty University is beyond excellent. The modest class sizes allow you to actually KNOW your professors. They are extremely helpful with all academic/career advising needs. Most importantly, they are amazing educators and will work to provide you with the education you need to move on to a graduate program or to transition into the field.
