Internship Experience

Catalog description

Prerequisites: Student must be a psychology major with GPA of 3.0 or higher in the previous two semesters. Student must have also completed PSY 200 or INQ 112. Enrollment by Department Consent/Instructor Permission. PSY 391 provides students an internship experience in partnership with the Department of Psychology at Cleveland State University and a relevant outside entity, agreed upon by a representative psychology faculty member, supervisor at the internship work site, and the student. Goals for the internship experience will be outlined, as well as the psychological relevance of the work activities, prior to registering for this course. Expected work hours are based on the number of credits registered (1 credit hour = 3 hours of work per week). A faculty supervisor will formally approve the internship, which will then be reviewed by the Department of Psychology Undergraduate Program Committee to ensure compliance with all internship objectives. Depending on the nature of the internship, students may need to provide the results of a background check or other criteria.
