PSYC 389-Experiential Learning (1-6 credits)
Prerequisites: Completion of nine credits in Psychology, a 3.0 GPA in Psychology and a 2.8 GPA overall.
Course Description: PSYC 389 is a course through which undergraduate psychology majors can earn academic credit for a professionally supervised internship experience. This course is administered entirely online through the ELMS Canvas Online Learning Management System and provides students with the opportunity to reflect upon and process the challenges and learning opportunities that accompany the professional work
environment. Students are also guided on methodologies for connecting their academic theory based psychology coursework to the functional activities they are performing at their internship site. Skills clarification and strategies for effectively marketing their internship to psychology major employers and graduate schools are also key components of the course. The culminating assessment for the course is a three-part Internship Poster Project where the student demonstrates through internship tasks, activities, and events how they have acquired specific knowledge, skills, and abilities they can then market to an employer or graduate school. All in all students should expect to spend 2-3 hours per week completing course assignments online through ELMS in addition to the regular weekly hours of practicum work at their internship site.
This course does not apply toward the 11 course/35 credit psychology major requirements; however it does apply toward the 120 credits required by the University for graduation.
PSYC 389 is a variable course in which the credit value range a student enrolls in is between 1 and 6 credits. The number of credits a student enrolls in is determined by the number of field work hours they will completing at their internship site.
