INTERNSHIPS

Students may gain field experiences in mental health clinics, social service agencies, educational institutions, and the business world. Internships are considered advanced experiences in the Psychology major, and must build on a coursework foundation.

Through internship experiences students (1) deepen their learning by complementing theoretical knowledge with experiential education, (2) reach beyond the university to provide service to persons in a variety of conditions and settings, (3) gain insights into psychology both as a profession and as a vocation (i.e., a calling), and (4) understand the relationship of their own goals, desires, and skills to career paths in psychology and related fields.
