Field Experience PSY446
What is Field Experience?
All psychology majors are required to complete either Research Experience (PSY451/452) or Field Experience (PSY446). Each course is designed to be completed during your final year of study when you have completed most of your other coursework.
In Field Experience you have an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in your courses by volunteering at a placement in the community throughout the semester. It can also help you decide what careers or graduate programs you might like to pursue after you finish school. Our students have worked in a variety of settings including out-patient mental health facilities, organizations for children with Autism, domestic violence shelters, physical therapy rehabilitation centers, and many others throughout the community.
