PSYC 396 - Psychology Practicum

Unit(s): 4

This course provides an opportunity for community-engaged learning in a variety of community settings relevant to psychology (e.g., hospitals, mental health and residential treatment centers, skilled nursing facilities, school classrooms, homeless shelters, preschool and daycare centers, and locally based non-profit organizations). Each student serves in an agency and experiences the application of psychology in the real world. The community-engaged experience allows students to examine how course concepts and theories play out in a community setting, develop skills and commitments to participate effectively in civic life, and address community-identified priorities and needs to advance the public good.
