Students who are interested in gaining career-related professional
experience in psychology should consider enrolling in PSY 497/498. The difference between
the two course numbers is based on the number of credits taken.
To register for PSY 497/498, there are some
specific prerequisites and there is an application process that occurs in the semester
prior
to when you want to do the internship. It is very helpful for the sites, the
psychology fieldwork coordinator, and for you as a student if you follow the process and
timeline for registration for fieldwork in psychology. Students cannot register themselves
for PSY 497/498 through Banner.
For psychology fieldwork/internships, there is a
seminar that accompanies the hours spent working at the site. The academic requirements
for the course are described in the course syllabus. The course is graded (A-E) and
performance in the seminar requirements and in the site duties contribute to your grade.
There is a brochure available in the psychology office (Beaumont 211)
that describes the sites that psychology students can use. The Career
Development Center may also have information on potential internships for psychology majors.
