In Their Own Words<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]“The small class sizes and thoughtful professors make studying psychology at Eckerd great. The professors here have really shaped my journey at Eckerd, and have provided me with multiple opportunities to get involved with their research when I\u2019ve reached out to them. They are also super understanding of life\u2019s circumstances and help you out in times of need.”
