“The diversity of Ecu’s <strong>course</strong> was an<br />

accurate reflection of the field itself.”<br />

The field of psychology is so diverse, and ECU’s <strong>course</strong><br />

was a true reflection of this. The <strong>course</strong> gave me the<br />

opportunity to explore the various areas of psychology,<br />

and discover what I wanted to pursue professionally.<br />
