The Co-operative Experience
The B.S. degree program emphasizes the development of strong career skills by requiring that students have co-operative experience for two quarters between their 2nd and 4th years of course work.
The co-op experience can involve many kinds of psychology-related employment. This provides students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in such settings as a research laboratory, industry, or a clinic.
Co-op sessions need not be consecutive; students may remain with the same organization or choose different positions in different quarters. The co-op experience is non-credit bearing and can be either paid or unpaid.
For more information about co-op search and preparation please contact The Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services. Sharitta Gross is the Program Coordinator who works directly with the Psychology program.
