PY 345 Professional Development in Psychology


(1 credit)
This course helps psychology and sport psychology majors identify career paths open to them, develop preliminary and backup plans for pursuing their chosen path, awareness of alternatives, and the identification of their own strengths (and how to showcase them for potential employers or graduate programs) and weaknesses (and how they can work on these using a well-chosen internship and thesis topic).  Students will gain experience in using on line career aids, the Career Education Office, writing and revising a resume, and going on interviews.  By the end of the course, students will choose type of internship they wish to pursue in senior year (i.e., agency internship or independent research).

To be taken the spring semester prior to PY490

Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing in the psych major or permission of instructor. 
Note: This course does not count as an elective in psychology.
