PSYC 488 Senior Capstone

This course is offered fall and spring semesters. Students seek an internship/work placement the semester prior to enrolling in the course. Sample placements include local hospitals, Hospice, Job Corps, Springbrook, on-campus work placements, local schools, collaborative faculty research, etc. During the Capstone semester, students spend several hours per week on site at their work placement and several hours in a regularly scheduled class for discussions relating theory to practice. At the end of the semester, students will be expected to demonstrate integrative learning in both written and oral reports describing how the Capstone experience has contributed to personal growth, recognition of differences and diversity among people, interpersonal relationships, ethics, job skills, and perhaps most important, discussing the underlying principles and theories of psychology that form the basis for the experience. Prerequisites: at least a C+ in PSYC 290 AND PSYC 291 and Instructor Permission (requires completion of an Internship Learning Agreement).
