Undergraduate Psychology Internships
At our University, undergraduate psychology students are required to participate in at least one 3-credit practicum or experiential course in psychology. Many of our students choose to meet this requirement through the Psy305 (Field Experience in Psychology), while others decide to participate in the URInternship Program for 15 credits. Our goal is to allow students to acquire "real-world" experience in the field of psychology during their college years.
Sites where our students have served as interns include:
Government
Hospitals
Corporate settings
Prisons
Clinical settings
Non-profit organizations
Crisis centers
Through these experiences, students learn whether they actually enjoy working in their selected careers. We believe that it is essential for students to have the opportunity to make informed decisions about their careers before they graduate from the University.
Participation in these internships and experiential learning courses allows students to develop important contacts for future job searches. Students can also acquire impressive career credentials during their college years and earn effective letters of recommendation from internship supervisors in "real-world" settings.
