The U.R.I. Psychology Department places a strong emphasis on experiential learning, in addition to its core curriculum. Undergraduate students are encouraged to get involved in internships for course credit, as well as undergraduate research under the supervision of a faculty member or graduate student. Some students combine research with internships by conducting their own individual projects at the sites where they serve as interns, allowing them to earn both forms of course credit, simultaneously. Undergraduate research and field experiences allow students to build impressive credentials during their undergraduate years, making them strong candidates for either entry-level positions or graduate programs in psychology after graduation. Get involved in research early in your college career.
Internships are also available that can provide real world psychology experiences.
