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.
