Welcome to PSI CHI at Ramapo College of New Jersey

The International Honor Society in Psychology

Psi Chi (pronounced Sigh-Kigh) is the internationally recognized honor society in psychology.  In addition to recognition of academic excellence, the benefits of membership include sessions at professional conferences for Psi Chi student presentations, funding sources for conference travel and research, and the opportunity to publish in Psi Chi’s research journal. Find out more about Psi Chi at psichi.org.
