This Cincinnati-based study abroad course combines classroom instruction and research projects/presentations with a hands-on experience focused on the people who have created the fields of experimental, clinical and cognitive psychology, including Wundt, Fechner, Freud, Jung, and Piaget. The best way to understand these famous scientists and their contributions to psychology is to see where they lived, breathed and worked, thereby permitting a greater appreciation of how their contexts shaped their viewpoints and their work. The students' immersion in the birthplaces of these distinctive schools of psychological thought will help students integrate different areas of psychology in order to form a deep appreciation for the roots of this fascinating field of psychology.
