Psychology majors in their junior or senior year may, with Dr. Joss's permission, choose to participate. If you plan a career in human services, strongly consider participating in the internship, particularly if you have had little experience in human services. If you are interested in areas outside of social services, speak with Dr. Joss about the possibility of getting experience in your particular area of interest. The internship experience begins the fourth week of Fall term, when the student is placed for approximately 10 hours per week, and continues whenever Gordon is in session, except during final exam periods. In addition to the internship experience, there are three hours per week of class during the Fall term, and three hours every other week during the Spring term.
Every effort is made to match students with their interests.
Some unusual placements have also been developed. Students who participate in internship are responsible for providing their own transportation to field placements. They should also attempt to keep significant blocks of time available in their schedules to accommodate the field placement. Address specific questions about the internship to Dr. Joss. Below are brief descriptions of some recent field placements.
