2006 GLI Oil consumption
Posted by
Monday, August 16, 2010
Tracy Goralcyk
Customer CARE Advocate
3499 West Hamlin Road
Rochester Hills, Michigan 48309
Dear Tracy:
Thank you for your prompt reply to my most recent communication concerning my Jetta GLI. I would like to clarify that I am not looking for a hand out. I do appreciate the dealer compensating for the headliner and air conditioner compressor issues. However, I am looking for answers.
After reading your flier #USVWOILCONS0409 titled "Evaluation of Possible Oil Consumption", it is obvious that VW has covered themselves in writing that there are major issues with this engine. I have been in manufacturing my entire working career and have worked directly with ISO compliant plants and Six Sigma certified plants and I find it odd that you are directing this issue to your dealers.
In your letter, you insinuate that this is how a lot of research and development is done. It is my opinion, this engine was put on the market before adequate testing was done and now the dealers are having to deal with the grief and hassles of a poorly designed engine. As a manufacturer, if I put out a faulty or defective product, my company would (and has before) step up and correct the issue at our expense and not put problems that we created onto our dealers and retailers to take the brunt of the abuse. I guess VW has the luxury of having dealers with no other option.
If you do simple math on your oil consumption pamphlet, "1 quart every 1,200 miles can be consumed within tolerance"; then in a 5,000 mile oil change you would replace more than 4 quarts of oil. Would you buy an automobile with this type of maintenance schedule? I have owned 3 other 1.8L VW automobiles and put in excess of 200,000 miles on each one and none of them consumed more than ½ quart of oil within a typical oil change.
If I was trying to decide on whether to buy a car based on your response to why I should buy another Volkswagen, I would look elsewhere. I am sure Honda or Nissan are not manufacturing their cars based on dealer and customer mechanical and engineering feedback; aesthetics maybe but not the basic engineering of the engine.
I look forward to your response.

How do you drive the vehicle? Are you high up in the RPMs in each gear?
I'm not defending VW, but how you drive can cause oil consumption. If you drove it hard before and now don't there could have been damage from the earlier drving.
Did you buy it used?
Anonymous on 08/20/2010:
Also, how many miles are on the car?
VW JUNK! on 12/08/2011:
I used to be a VW Tech. VW knows about these 2.0 engines using oil. I saw quite a bit that used about 2 quarts in 3k miles. Your not going to get any help from VW they don't stand behind their products.
Kathy Nordstrom on 12/22/2013:
I have this same issue, and have been writing to VW. They do not stand behind their product. They sent me the same brochure. I've added 3 quarts in 4600 miles. It's crazy! Please advise if anything has been done. I intend to email them every time I am annoyed. Every time I add oil, or make a payment, I'll write again. It wrong, and it's unacceptable.

VW is Junk!
Posted by
The car looks good. But ...
1. The fuel economy is horrible.
2. The dash rattles.
3. The front end picks up stones easily.
4. The cornsilk interior gets dirty easily and is difficult to clean.
5. Higher insurance costs.
6. Higher maintenance costs.
7. Requires premium ($$$) gas.
8. A lot of confusing little red lights on in the interior at night -- difficult to make out what they are for.
9. The stereo volume gets bumped easily.
10. Long-term reliability is questionable.
11. The owners manual is the worst I've ever seen.
12. Volkswagen as a corporate entity is unresponsive to consumers.
13. Volkswagen dealerships (where I live) are horrible.

Volkswagen stinks. Are not reliable
Posted by
ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND -- I'm another unsatisfied customer. I purchased a 2003 VW Jetta 1.8 Turbo. What a nightmare.
Problem 1: New car, the symptom would always begin the same. I would start the car and it would idle as if it wanted to cut off. As I would begin to drive and I would accelerate the car would increasingly stop pick up speed. I would get on the beltway and I would be accelerating and the car would not be pick up speed and begin to feel like it was going to stall out. Imagine getting onto a beltway with people going 60 miles and hour or more (yes speeding). How dangerous is that.
Each time I took it in the service person would be annoyed and every time they claimed it was another problem. I have had to take it in so many times and leave it that the rental car company got to know me. The driver from the dealer who would drop me off at work and I are friends now. I am petite and a woman and I had to slam my hand on the counter at this guy and yell at him that I wanted something done and this problem to be fixed period. This caused a bit of a commotion to say the least. The manager is a joke and I am quite convinced he has no clue. They go through service reps like a revolving door with one that told me some stories about what goes on behind the scenes. Talk about spiting in ones food!
Customer service at home office couldn't care less and are useless. All they can say is we will document this. Wonderful!
Last year my CD player would stop in the middle of a song and give me a CD2 or CD3 error. I took my car in and they had no idea what that was. I called the home office and nobody could tell me what it was. Hello! Youâre Volkswagen and you canât tell me what is wrong with your own car? BTW check out the consumer sites and they have a big black dot on VW stereo systems. Finally one day my CD player stopped working all together and ate one of my favorite CD's. They took it out (did not return my CD) and replaced it with a lower end model and I complained. This bothered them and they claimed to not know what kind of should go in. They take it out again and replace it. Each time they want me to bring it in to look at it, I have to take it back so they can take it out, then take it back for them to put it back in. Well guess what? I have a new CD player and a month later yet another CD error. Call again we go through this "We have to see the error" When this problem begins it appears then goes off. I this I found to be a stall tactic. They know that this would keep happening. Then CD player dies. We change it again. Then it happens a third time. Ah, but this time we change about 10 days before my warranty is over and guess what? A week after my warranty is up and you guessed it, CD error again.
I swear I have never been so furious. I took it to another dealership (a suggestion by the home office). They were nasty, rude and insensitive.
These cars stink. A co-worker was just about ready to go buy one that weekend and I told her to not walk but run from them. They lost one customer. I will continue to spread the word and take business away from them one by one. They were known for their dependability and quality service. Bless their corporate hearts the greedy jerks.
One more thing, I sound bitter (I am) but I have spoken to so many other people who own VWâs and they all have horror stories of their own. I am not alone so buyers beware.

I love you already sweetheart but there is a time when you just trade the piece of shyt in for a more reliable car. The time and money you put into this car was not worth it. I hope you found something more reliable.
Just for the record, if it were me, instead of slamming my hand on the counter...the manager would have found a hand around his neck with me dragging him across the counter. LOL!!
MRM on 05/11/2007:
With the problem you're having when trying to accelerate, the solution would be to replace your oxygen sensor. You can get Bosch oxygen sensors at Pep Boys for $70.00 for a pair.
lepearso on 05/12/2007:
Volkswagens that come out of Mexico, like the Jetta, are far more troublesome than the ones that come out of Germany, like the Passat. Regardless of the model, VW dealerships are among the worst when it comes to service. The one I deal with is wonderful, but they are the exception, not the rule.
OnWatch on 05/12/2007:
KenPopcorn. Was a typo I did not catch but glad you bothered to read and comment on my post anyway :) You would be a perfect employee.
Honestly thank you all for your comments. The car was under warranty until Jan. this month so I was attempting to take advantage of the warranty. Thank you MRM about the info on the oxygen sensor. Long story about this dealership but I wonder why their computer would not catch things like that? These cars had had a wonderful reputation I believe I read the problems started with the 2001's or after. At one point I had the window drop problem another post pointed out. Come to find out they did not want to do a recall so they were just taking people as they came in, lots. As I said I am not the only owner I know with complaints about service and quality. Was surprised how many I met personally. I do intend to get rid of this car in the near future. Really disappointed I really liked the car's look and feel. Now I will have to have another payment I guess. Doing research have since found they have bad ratings. Check Edwards.Com. I have heard the comment about the difference in quality from one's in Germany also. To ejack053824, I really am very sweet but have just found that for that reason people think they can push me around. Everyone has their limits and if nobody says anything they just continue. They will even with this. Now I go forward, lick my wounds, and find something more reliable. Peace

my brother-in-law bought a Volkswagon beetle back in 2002 it was new after owning it several years and 100,000 miles the care started falling apart the engine was worked on many,many times by the dealer in Greenville,N.C finally one of the mechanic's told him that Volkswagon was making disposable cars and if you had one around 80-85,000 miles you better be getting rid of it.I never owned one and never will.

MICHIGAN -- I have a Winnebago/VW Rialta Motor home that is a $400 a month lawn ornament. It will not run and many many parts have required replacement/repair and it still fails to function. I purchased this vehicle because of name recognition, esthetic appearance, and perceived ability that it would function in a manner consistent with my intended use. I wanted to be able to drive this vehicle and use it for camping with all the amenities that visually presented themselves. I have been flat bedded in twice because this vehicle will not stay running. I have been in for service many times and reassured the problems would not reoccur. Not only do the problems reoccur but more problems occur. I have been told by a Winnebago representative not to camp in Florida because it is too hot and my vehicle cannot handle the heat in Florida and IF I insist on camping in Florida I must park under a tree. VW does not even bother to answer my certified letter, telephone calls or appear for deposition. The dealership for VW in Fort Wayne have added insult to injury by not returning phone calls to make an appointment and then not even bothering to say my first name correctly. I filed a lawsuit over a year and a half ago and all three parties to the suit have attempted to dismiss it and refuse to recognize this vehicle is a lemon. Winnebago, VW and Ben Davis in Auburn Indiana. A bad bad experience and I continue to wait for them to correct this unpleasant situation.

Not happy . They have made it difficult to replace something as simple as a headlight
Posted by
I'm really upset. To think I was considering becoming a loyal VW customer. I bought this cute little beetle just to find out that VW is only looking out for their bottom line and not the consumer. They have made the car so that you can't even do the simplest things like changing the oil or replacing a headlight. Instead they made it so that a $7 light bulb replacement will cost you at least $70 in labor. BTW VW if you're listening I found away around it! Its a pain in my butt though. I will never buy a car again for you. Unless you do an overhaul to your practices. Make the car consumer friendly. You'll make more money in the long run. Car enthusiast's are loyal to their favorite brand. Here I thought I was going to forever buy your Beetles and pass them onto my kids. Not anymore. What a disappointment.

leet60 on 10/22/2010:
When you go to almost all auto repair shops, especially dealerships they will use a guide that gives them the "estimated time of repair" for any issue. If the hourly rate is $70.00 and the repair takes from one minute to 60 minutes you are still charged for one hour. If the guide estimates 70 minutes you would see a charge for 2 hours.
This time is based on the average time a trained technician (note not mechanic) would take to complete the repair.
Starlord on 10/22/2010:
What leet is referring to is the Flat Rate Manual. It gives the time an experienced technician should complete that repair in. The customer is charged the flat rate, and if the mechanice can't cut that time down, then the shop will not keep him very long. If the flat rate book shows a repair should take an hour and a half, the mechanic is expected to do it in less than an hour. The customer still pays for an hour and a half times the flat rate. The mechanio gets paid for one hour.
redmx3racer on 10/22/2010:
Just by looking at the "new" Beetle I could tell you it would not be the easiest car to work on. VW's never are easy to work on anyway. Other cars out there are just as hard to change a headlight bulb by the way-09-up Mazda 6's and 2010 and up Subaru Outbacks for example-you have to remove part of the fender liner and bumper cover to change the bulb.
tnchuck100 on 10/22/2010:
It should be a requirement that all design engineers be required to actually work on their systems before they are released. If they had to change that headlight they would find a better way to design it.
As far as "...make more money in the long run." goes the CEO of today is only concerned with the maximum possible profit for the next quarter.
momsey on 10/22/2010:
I've had Volkswagens since I started driving. One of the Jettas I had and the convertible Beetle I have now are both really pains in the butt for changing simple things like headlights and taillights. Even in the owner's manual, it tells you to take it to a dealer to get the lights fixed. I'm with the OP on this one!
raven_on on 12/10/2010:
I bought my first and last one being a 2009 jetta it is not that the vehicle it so terrible it is the customer relations within the whole volkswagen organization that just plane sucks. I owned a Lexus prior to this one now there is just outstanding customer service. I thought I would try something with a little better fuel economy what a mistake this is. I got 60,000km and looking to sell just one issue after another and no decent attempt to solve.
momsey on 12/10/2010:
P.S. My 2000 Jetta is still on the road. I sold it to my husband's co-worker five years ago and it's still going strong. Probably my favorite car ever.
trmn8r on 12/10/2010:
I had a '98 Passat from new to 130,000 miles. It was a great car, but has several annoying issues. Such as, two coil packs failed, ignition switch failed, several window regulators failed, a/c compressor failed, water pump froze, secondary air pump failed.
I work on all my cars. The one that was best designed was a '82 Nissan 280ZX turbo. That car was so easy to work on. The only thing that wasn't was the exhaust - had to lower the suspension to put a new one in. Unless you cut it in half with a torch. Best handling car I had as well.

Winnebago Customer Service/Manufacture
Posted by
WINNEBAGO, INDIANA -- I purchased a new 2003 Winnebago Brave. The first time out steam came into the passenger compartment from the engine cap. Turns out either on a TGIF someone was in a hurry to leave or Monday morning blues . . . a connector was left off of a routing hose from the radiator to a coil which heats the water heater while driving. When taken in for service it turns out all connectors were loose and some were missing . . . oops Sorry!
1 year later we drove to Oklahoma during the winter months and his some severe weather . . . the plastic on the slide out covers disintegrated. Under warranty? No warranty is for twelve months to the minute! Dealer (Saddleback RV Irvine); product manufacturer and Winnebago all refused to repair or replace. I even offered to do all the labor if they would provide the canvas replacement.
The slide out was not sealing properly, turns out they left a piece of wood on top of the slide out inside the compartment so it would not shut all the way. This should have been caught at delivery.
Call Winnebago and you get some guy who sounds like you just drug him off the toilet to pick up the phone; his help should have been flushed if that was the case.
Before you purchase a Winnebago or if you do purchase one you should do a thorough inspection of every nut and bolt on the vehicle before driving it off of the lot. Once you leave and return the next day Winnebago will try to blame the new owner for any problems with their coach. I should have learned after the first one. Good luck!

VW Springfield Rental Rip Off
Posted by
SPRINGFIELD, VIRGINIA -- I've been ripped off by VW of Franconia-Springfield for damages on a rental used while my VW was in being repaired. YOU MUST BEWARE OF THE EXISTING AND DROP OFF CONDITION OF THE CAR. This is not mentioned or promoted by VW, they and my insurance company are both only concerned with my signature on the lease. I can state with 100% certainty that no damage was done to the rental while in my possession. To both of them, my word is worthless. My advice is do not use any services from VW Springfield-Franconia.

It is partly your own responsibility to check the vehicle for damage before driving off. IF there is damage, have them note it before you take it. That way it is noted and you cannot be blamed for it. Many rental cars get the crap beat out of them, because its not the persons own vehicle.

Commercials with Brooke Shields offensive

Many people have posted complaints about Burger King or others having offensive commercials, so I have to speak up on the VW Routan ads with Brooke Shields. I find it offensive to keep pounding on the line, "Don't put a baby in your belly to put German Engineering in your driveway." It makes no sense and I find it highly offensive.

That's a big WRONG, DB! I never could stand Brooke. She's not hard on the eyes but she always came across as a phony stuck up brat to me. I haven't seen the ad, but I guess I'm not missing anything.

mkaresh on 11/15/2008:
What makes the Routan commercials even more inane is that it's heavily based on the Chrysler minivan, and is made in a Chrysler plant. So much for the "German engineering" Brooke touts.

Can't fix problem
Posted by
I have been dealing with Volkswagen for the year I have owned my car. The airbag light continually goes on right after it is fixed. My car is in the shop every week and there is nothing that they can do to fix it. Volkswagen of America decided they can't or don't want to help get me a car that works. Be careful and read reviews before you buy a Tauareg. Worst experience I've ever had with a car.

Check out this site. Maybe someone is having the same problem as you.
Maybe you cannot find anything on the internet because you misspelled the name of your vehicle.
It's TOUAREG, and there are plenty of complaints out there. Just google Touareg complaints.
Good luck.
lepearso on 02/19/2007:
I love the looks of the Toureg, but I hear nothing but complaints from owners. VW had better get their act together fast!
Gando on 02/20/2007:
A little black tape covering the air bag light will fix that problem! (just kidding) =)
That really is the worst experience you've ever had with a car? Has the car ever broken down on the side of the road? Brakes ever gone out on a steep hill? Make a sharp turn and the car flips over? Car won't start in the garage? Ever lose power steering?
Man, the worst experience I've ever had was with a horrible Dodge sedan. One day the car decides it will not go in reverse! Nope! I had to park on the street instead of my comfy garage. It was such a pain!
But, best of luck to you with your VW.

What did you expect. It's a VW Beetle. Not know for its reliability.
VAN6143 on 12/28/2007:
Is this vehicle still under warranty and if it is, if your not satisfied with dealership response take it to VOA and better business buereau if necessary. sounds to me like a dealer run around.

Mustang Tires - A Simple Buyer's Guide
Buying the right tires for your Ford Mustang is just as important as buying the right wheel. AmericanMuscle.com has made that decision simple for you, too! In every wheel description, we list the best tire fitment. In the picture below, it is circled in red.
A lot of Mustang owners ask us why they should buy the tire size that we recommend. Its a good question and there are a lot of reasons but the most important reason is because it will offer you the perfect amount of safety, handling, and sidewall protection.
Mustang tires by the numbers
In order to understand why it is dangerous to not buy the recommended tire size, you need to understand what each of the numbers in the size means. Tire sizes are listed in 3 numbers, for example 205/55/16.
205: The first number is the width of the tire in mm (205mm).
55 (The Aspect Ratio): The second number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width. In this example, the sidewall is 55% of the 205mm, or 112.75mm.
16 (The Wheel Diameter): The third number is the diameter of the wheel (rim) in inches.
Aspect Ratio:
When buying a rim that is larger than stock, you must change the aspect ratio of the tire, too. This will keep your speedometer reading correctly. When you upsize your wheel, the aspect ratio will be smaller than stock. This gives your wheels and tires a wider contact patch, improving cornering ability. Using a smaller than recommended Aspect Ratio means you have less rubber to absorb impact that can damage your rim. It also reduces the amount of contact your tires have with the road. Using a larger than recommended Aspect Ratio increases the ride height, and will make your speedometer read slower than actual speed. It can also cause rubbing in the wheel wells. It affects steering stability, and will make your car feel floaty when cornering.
Mustang Tire Widths:
Using a wider tire than recommended: Using too wide a tire will push the sidewalls out, giving the tire what is known as the "drag tire" look. If you do this on a non-drag tire, there are several things that can happen:
A poor bead seal is created
The tread is forced into a convex shape, which reduces the tire life. It also affects steering and handling capability.
The car will feel floaty.
The speedometer will read slower than the car is actually going.
Using a skinnier tire than recommended for your Mustang:
Using a tire that is too skinny pulls the sidewalls past the wheel lip. Besides creating the ricer look, it is also very dangerous. Too skinny a tire can cause the tire to separate from the rim if youre going to fast, or while turning a corner.
Mustang tire Brands:
We have four types of Sumitomo tires:
HTR Z - These are Sumitomo's High Performance Summer tire. A high performance tire, they are designed to give the driver confident performance in both wet and dry conditions. With a direction V tread pattern, the HTR Z aggressively plows water out of the way, preventing hydroplaning in dangerous weather conditions. These tires also have a solid center rib that helps deliver direction stability, even on the most heavily grooved roads. Added to that, the HTR Z delivers a smooth ride with very little road noise. These are Z rated tires and are not meant to be driven in freezing temperatures.
HTR Z II - This is an ultra High Performance Summer tire. These tires can almost sense how they should perform in wet and dry conditions, as well as on and off the track. The HTR Z II has extra wide, arched treads that deliver incredible traction and handling. These tires provide excellent hydroplaning resistance and predictable handling, all while being light weight and low profile.
HTR Z III - This is Sumitomo's New Max Performance Summer Tire. Designed with a 3-D wave wall that increases drainage capabilities and reinforces center rib stability. Five rib asymmetric tread pattern merges cornering with straight line stability delivering high-speed stamina and predictable handling. The HTR Z III Series Tires deliver a smooth ride with minimal road noise. Y-speed rating for true high-performance vehicles.
HTR + - This is Sumitomo's High Performance All-Season tire. Delivering traction throughout the seasons, this tire delivers high speed durability and handling. This V-rated tire has hydroplaning resistance in all weather, and delivers a smooth ride with very little road noise.
We have two types of Nitto tires:
NT555 - Whether you have a daily driver or a track car, this tire is perfect for you The NT555 has incredible traction and reliable handling, as well as one of the biggest contact patches available. The grooves and channels reduce your chances of hydroplaning in wet weather, helping this tire deliver total vehicle control.
NT555R - These are Nitto's DOT approved drag radial. Legal for the street, and they don't require replacing every 1500-3000 miles! With this tire on your Mustang, you will have impressive control and handling, and still get up to 15,000 miles of tread life when used on a daily driver.

Apart from being his hugely successful entry into the blacksploitation soundtrack field, this album's also a monster set of grooves that includes some of Curtis' funkiest work ever – a record that works as well as a 70s soul album as it does a hip action film score! The track list alone reads as a who's who of 70s funk – filled with gems that include "Pusherman", "Freddie's Dead", "Little Child Runnin' Wild", "Give Me Your Love", and "Superfly" – and the rest of the set is equally great, essential listening throughout! © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

It's Almost Australia Day!
My perfect Australia Day? Involves a smashing breakfast, a drive in the countryside, and a BBQ on the deck. Preferably with a cold beer in my hand.
Coconut waffles with bananas and mango jam for breakfast
(you don't have to share. the blue-tongues understand)
Need a snack? Chocolate avocado smoothies out of a thermos.
Choose grillables like broccoli, corn, sustainable seafood, or pizza made from naans or flatbreads
Drink fresh lemonade
(spiked or not)
Mix it up with some fresh slaw or a crispy salad.
By the pool, if you have one. (Because it's summer, after all)
Do not forget the lemon potatoes ...
Or the ginger cookies.
And what's Australia Day without pavlova? Or, as I favour, meringues slathered with fresh, whipped cream and passionfruit pulp.
I ♥ Australia.
Amanda xx

That's a scary thought, that it is almost Australia Day. Firstly because it means January is almost over and Secondly because daughter no. 2 has invited 20 girls over on Australia Day for a little gathering!!! What is that meant to mean? Am I to be frightened?

It's a 10 Miracle Moisture Shampoo
Based on 1 Review
PamHairDark BrownColor Treated HairLove The Product- Hate The BottleThis shampoo is wonderful. Does wonderful things to my hair. However, it lost a star because the pump bottle doesn't work. Not just that it doesn't work, it's not physically made to work. Just make it with a squeeze top. The two hands necessary to unscrew the lid, pour the shampoo and rescrew the lid because the pump doesn't work is very cumbersome in the shower.5 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Nose dive #2… This dress is for me and I will definitey wear it. I am very happy with the fit and how it turned out. I nearly didn't make it as it was a last minute rush.
I call this my Progressive Date Dress: first date all buttons done up. Second date maybe a little "peek a boob" and third date a bit (or lot) of leg and the open back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of job can I get with this degree?
Because psychology majors (whether they complete a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science) study human behavior across multiple contexts and from several different points of view, their knowledge and skills are applicable to a broad variety of careers. To learn more about careers involving psychology, click here.
How many classes do I have to take?
Generally 120 credit hours of courses are required to complete a Bachelor's degree. To see how a typical four-year course sequence might look for a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology major, click here.
What kinds of classes will I have to take?
The B.A. in Psychology is a traditional liberal arts degree, meaning that you will take a significant number of general education courses as well as several courses in psychology. To see the B.A. in Psychology degree requirements, click here.
What is accreditation and what does it mean?
Accreditation is the process that educational institutions (and sometimes individual schools or programs within those institutions) go through on a regular basis to show that the programs they offer meet certain standards. Students who attend accredited institutions or programs generally are more marketable, because they are able to show that the education they received was of high quality. IU Kokomo is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (based in Chicago, IL).
How many students will be in my classes?
In the first year, class sizes in psychology range from 35-45. By the senior year, class sizes of 12-25 are typical, and all students complete independent study courses which are one-on-one with a resident faculty member of their choice.
What are faculty qualifications?
All of our resident faculty have obtained the terminal degree in their fields, the Ph.D. (or doctoral degree). Together, we possess over 70 years of teaching experience, and members of the psychology faculty have been repeatedly recognized for outstanding university teaching in the form of awards, honors, and membership in prestigious teaching organizations. In addition, our resident faculty are active researchers who regularly give scholarly presentations and publish in academic journals.
Can I do an internship with this program?
Absolutely - in fact, about half of our majors complete this kind of experiential learning (which we call a practicum) to earn required credits towards their degree. For more information, click here.
Can I study abroad with this degree?
Yes. Several of our students find ways to do this - though we do not currently offer any psychology classes in a study abroad format, students often participate in study abroad through courses in Humanities or other fields, some of which can count towards their degree if planned appropriately. Consulting with an academic advisor about setting up a study abroad is the best way for a psychology major to do this.
Will you help me find a job when I graduate?
We have several supports for you as you start your job search. First, our campus Office of Career Services assists students in many ways as they prepare to enter the workforce. Their website can be found here. Second, our small size allows us to get to know you and your interests, so that we can use our networks of contacts around the community and region to help you move in the right direction. Third, if you choose to complete a practicum, the experience you gain there can be a great asset towards showing potential employers your skills and accomplishments. Our faculty are always open to student questions and will do whatever we can to assist you.
Are there student organizations for this degree?
Yes, the Psychology Club is the organization for students interested in psychology, and Psi Chi is the psychology honorary that our strongest students often join as upperclassmen.
How can I get in touch with my professor?
Email is generally recommended. Contact information for our faculty can be found here. All teaching faculty also hold office hours for student questions, which they generally list on each course syllabus.
Do I get an advisor to help me schedule classes?
Yes. Psychology majors are advised through the Advising Center for Arts and Sciences (more info here).
How do I change degrees?
Consult with your advisor. If you are changing degrees between schools (for example, changing from the School of Education to the School of Arts and Sciences), you will often need to schedule advising appointments for both schools to make sure the transition happens smoothly.
Can I double-major?
Yes. Consult with your advisor.
What is a major?
A major is a sequence of courses in a single discipline that provides both breadth and depth of education in that field. Most majors are between 30-36 credit hours (10 to 12 classes) in that discpline.
What is a minor?
A minor is a set of courses in a single field that gives students more exposure to a field than they would typically receive in general education. Most minors are between 12-21 credit hours (4 to 7 classes) in a discipline.
Can I minor in anything I want?
Generally a student can minor in any field that offers a minor - though not all departments or disciplines at IU Kokomo offer minors, a great many do. Selection of a minor should be made wisely, ensuring that the additional coursework in that area will contribute meaningfully towards your goals after college.
What is a concentration?
In some majors or minors, students choose an area of study within a discipline to focus on - this means that the courses they take to complete their program share some common feature that allows students to develop a more specific set of knowledge or skills. For example, the Bachelor of Science in Psychology offers two concentrations - one that includes more lab science courses, and one that includes more psychology research courses. The B.A. in Psychology does not offer concentrations.
What's the difference between an associate, bachelor, master and doctorate degree?
Generally a main difference is number of courses required, with associate's degrees generally being able to be completed in 1 1/2 to 2 years; bachelor's degrees taking 4 years; master's degrees taking 5 1/2 to 7 years; and doctoral degrees taking 7 to 10 years. Another equally-important difference is in the nature of the academic work students do. As you move closer to a doctoral degree, the emphasis shifts from understanding existing knowledge in a field, to actively creating new knowledge in that field (that is, becoming a researcher oneself) and/or practicing at the highest recognized level in that field. Psychology at IU Kokomo offers only bachelor's degrees, but many of our students go on to other universities to pursue master's or doctoral degrees.
