“My cousin came to look at the school for nursing and I went with her. As soon as I stepped on campus, I loved the atmosphere. Everybody was so nice and welcoming. All the students held the door open for each other and that positive attitude was one of the first things that impressed me about Hartwick. Coupled with the amazing J-term opportunities, resources on campus, and the helpful financial aid, I knew Hartwick was the place for me.”

“We have some classes that are labeled as “Experiential Learning” classes where students can take what they learned in the classroom and apply them. These hands on experiences include activities, field trips, and volunteer work.”

“Undergraduate research experiences set Hartwick apart. We are well equipped and have a good track record in faculty-student collaborative research. Students present at regional and national conferences and sometimes publish with us.”

“We have young alumni in PhD neuroscience programs and clinical PhD and PsyD programs now, and many who are working in the field. More than 90% of our students get internships. They work in counseling, school psychology, on developmental disorders, and on substance abuse. Experience is a very important part of our program.”

“I spent one month volunteering at Nepal Orthopeadic Hospital in Jorpati, Nepal, where I worked closely with two physical therapists and two physical therapy assistants.” 

“Spending a month in Nepal also exposed me to the country’s rich culture and beautiful landscape. I was introduced to the Buddhist religion during my stay and had my first exposure to spicy food. Nepal also introduced me to the importance of being sensitive to the differences that exist between countries and cultures. My internship prepared me for future international experiences.”
