Practicum in Psychology

Provides students with the opportunity to gain practical experience working within the field of psychology. Practicum sites include such opportunities as: special needs summer camp, autism intensive behavioral intervention clinic, special education school placements, and psychology clinic placements.

Students interested in this course are responsible for contacting the practicum coordinator one semester in advance of the course in order to arrange for a placement, which is contingent upon site and supervisor availability and willingness to take on the student. Limited to third- and fourth- year students majoring in Psychology or Human Services who have received the permission of their psychology faculty advisor.
