The courses that I have taken so far in the Lynn J. Darby School of Psychology and Adolescent Counseling have a very interactive structure. Students are allowed to express their experiences with mental health and illness at their discretion, which creates a safe environment for all students to learn about the functions of the human brain, human behaviors, and human interaction.

³ûÄñÊÓƵ has a very good reputation in the community. Clinical settings such as the Northeast Georgia Medical Center, always thought very highly of ³ûÄñÊÓƵ nursing students because most of the nurses at the hospital went to ³ûÄñÊÓƵ. I’ve always wanted to help people, and my goal as a nurse is to help people in their most vulnerable times.
