Abstract
Psychology has an enormous undergraduate teaching footprint and is one of the largest instructors in the College of Arts & Sciences with 64.480 SCHs generated in the past academic year. Focusing on increasing enrollments in broad campus-serving 200 level courses and challenged by unprecedented demand for our competitive major (we currently have over 1000 majors at any given time) we are increasingly facing bottlenecks and scheduling obstacles, particularly for our courses that require computer/software applications instruction. With our expansion to include parts of Kincaid Hall, we now have space in Guthrie Hall to create a dedicated computer laboratory, and we hope to move quickly to creating this essential classroom space that will serve both our undergraduate general education courses, psychology major courses, and graduate level courses.
