  • Psychology 298 /498: Field Experience/Internship

    1.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    In a placement at a social service, mental health, research, or child care agency, the student will participate in the activities of the agency, supervised by the on-campus supervisor as well as an agency supervisor. Students will participate in on-campus discussions of readings which raise a variety of ethical issues. In a journal, students will reflect upon their experiences. In a formal paper, students will analyze and discuss the organizational structures and staff-client relationships. Permission of instructor required. We expect that students who enroll in Field Experience (298) will have minimal background in psychology (perhaps only General Psychology and a one-credit-hour course) and/or want to observe at an agency that does not provide training or allow undergraduates direct interaction with clients. We expect that students who enroll in an Internship (498) will have a more extensive background in the social sciences and will be trained by the agency to work with clients. Will be offered every year. Students must arrange an internship prior to registration for the term in which they plan to complete their hours at the agency. Hours worked at the agency may be completed during any term. On-campus discussions will be arranged as needed.
