Are internships available in psychology?
The Psychology Department sponsors an internship course, PSY (490), which is a convenient vehicle for students to explore career possibilities or to acquire work experience to add to a resume. Past students who had taken an internship have worked at some of the following types of settings: child abuse treatment centers, runaway shelters, retirement villages, probation departments, hospital adult care centers, human resource offices, child development centers, children’s treatment centers, correctional institutions, and with autistic children. Other possibilities exist. The course may be taken for 1-6 credit hours. If students take 6 credits of internship, counting toward graduation requirements, they may not sign up for independent study (PSY 493), readings in psychology (PSY 494), or service learning experience (PSY 497) to count toward graduation requirements as a total of 6 credits is allowed for the combination of all these courses, including honors thesis credits (PSY 477/478).
