Cyrus Chang, Alumni & Current PhD Student

What enforced my PAU experience was the opportunity to network and meet advanced students and research lab groups at PAU. I do see myself being immersed in the integration of psychology and technology.

Sheila Park, Class of 2020, B.S. in Psychology and Social Action

Why PAU? "When I took my first psychology class in community college, it really resonated with me. When deciding between Palo Alto University (PAU) and a UC school, it was ultimately PAU’s two-year cohort model and quality graduate psychology program that really made a difference for me."

Kimberly King-Martin, BS Business Psychology

Technical Communications Manager at Levicon. "Palo Alto University has given me the opportunity to grow as a student and as a person."

Mishga Sohrabi, BS Business Psychology & MA Counseling

Professional Counselor "Business Psychology has been an incredible experience that has opened up a realm of possibilities for my future".

Charlotte Wilkie, Psychology and Social Action

It’s not typical to find an undergraduate presenting a poster at a major national psychology conference, but PAU’s Charlotte Wilkie has done just that. The Psychology and Social Action senior designed a research project and presented a poster at the 2019 Society for Personality and Social Psychology under the guidance of PAU professor Dr. Robert Wickham and with the support of PAU Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology candidate Holly Buckman. “Charlotte did an excellent job conducting and presenting this research,” said Dr. Wickham. “Her work goes well beyond what a typical undergraduate student does at any university.”

Gary Hsieh, BS Business Psychology

Fashion Retail Business "The Business Psychology program has been a life changing experience. I have grown academically as well as personally. It has also allowed me to meet incredible people that have mentored me towards a bright future."

Aimee Molina, BS Business Psychology & MS Counseling

Professional Counselor "This program has afforded me opportunities that have proven to be transformational, and the staff and faculty exceeded my expectations time-and-time again."

Rosalina Rodriguez, BS Psychology

Behavioral Specialist, Alum Rock Counseling Center "My education from Palo Alto University along with the mandatory internship fully prepared me for the work I am accomplishing now."
