Psych course enters ‘real world’ Those tired of overcrowded classrooms may find the psychology department's year-long course entitled “Advanced Applied Psychology” of interest. For those unfamiliar with the term “applied,” it means a combination of academia and the real world. Last year, psychology masters degree students and advanced undergraduates worked with such diverse services as the City of Eugene Sacred Heart General Hospital and Pape Bros., Inc., in improving employer-employee relations, job design and management. The course is open to students in related fields, such as business, management or Com munity Service and Public Affairs. Students interested in joining the class fall term should contact Susan Petereson, Room 272 Straub Hall, 686-4954, before the end of spring term.
