Psychology internships offer students the opportunity to bolster their classroom education with experience in an applied setting. Internships involve performing work related to your area of interest in an outside organization. Credit-bearing internships also involve an academic component that is supervised by a faculty member.
Internships generally last for a semester or summer.
You can earn one to three credits, depending on the number of hours you work. However, full-time students are discouraged from working more than 10 hours per week during a regular semester, and no more than two credits will be awarded. PSY 492 is the course identification for a psychology internship. Psychology students are preparing for careers in a variety of areas such as counseling, education, human resources, law, management, medicine, public relations, and social services. Consequently, a wide range of internships are available.
