Twelve Marshall University Psychology Majors Spending a Year in Europe
Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Huntington, WV (HNN) – Twelve Marshall University psychology majors departed this week for a year of study in Europe as participants in the U.S. Department of Education’s Atlantis Dual Degree Exchange Program.
Following a semester at the University of Debrecen in Hungary, the students will spend the spring semester at the Warsaw (Poland) School of Social Sciences and Humanities.
“The students will receive not only their Marshall degrees, but they will also be able to earn a second B.A. degree from one of the European schools,” said Dr. Joe Wyatt, a Marshall University professor in the Department of Psychology and the project’s director.
The students are: Stacey Smith of Kenova; William Graham of Falling Waters; Luana Sizemore of Clay; Margaret Stephens of Leon; Cody Collins of Huntington; Pat Eckert of Daphney, Ala.; Crystal Woody of Oak Hill; Catrese Thomason of St. Albans; Christina Meade of Huntington; Kimberly White of Harts, Alex Mull of Glen Dale and Owen West of Nelsonville, Ohio.
Four students from the University of Debrecen are attending Marshall University this semester as part of the Atlantis program. They are Marta Jozsa, Andrea Kezer, Barbara Pete and Veronika Takacs.
Since 2007, 23 Marshall students have studied or are studying at the two partner schools, including the 12 who recently headed to Europe. During that time, 12 students from each partner school in Europe have attended, or are attending, Marshall University.
The dual degree program in psychology, announced in December 2006, was created thanks to a $1.27 million European Union-United States Atlantis grant. The grant was the first of its kind for Marshall University and the state of West Virginia. It funds collaborative efforts to develop programs of study leading to joint or dual undergraduate degrees.
“The program has been highly successful so far,” Wyatt said. “Every student in the program is progressing toward earning the dual degrees, and one has completed the program. He is Matt McGuire of Cross Lanes, West Virginia.”
