This program offers qualified students an opportunity to pursue hands-on work in a setting relevant to the field of Forensic Psychology. Students receive course credit for their work while Interning. The Internship is an excellent way to get live exposure to and experience with the people and psychological phenomena you have read about in your psychology classes. Most students who enroll in the Internship are Psychology majors in their junior or senior year who are interested in exploring career options in the mental health and human service fields.
Interns choose their own settings.
You may opt to complete more than 3 credit hours if you choose. For example, if you need 6 credits for graduation, you may elect to complete 270 hours at the Internship site, and you will be credited with 6 credits. For this reason, students generally cannot simply use a place of employment as an Internship. Contact Dr. Englander in Psychology with your questions. The first step is to contact Dr. Englander and confirm that you are qualified, and discuss potential Internship sites.
