PSYC 490Psych Practicum

Catalog

Clinical experience is an experiential learning opportunity that allows students to apply their psychological knowledge and skills in the "real world." In the course, students work with an organization in the community throughout the term and engage in ongoing reflection related to their experiences. Through this experience students will build: an understanding of the nature and purpose of the organization including its role in the community, awareness of the knowledge, skills, and methods used by professionals within the field, application of principles learned through psychology coursework and experience, and insight into personal strengths, areas for growth, and career goals. Prerequisites: PSYC-100 and Permission of Instructor. Minimum of junior status.
