Internships
An optional practicum and internship bring classroom learning to life in community-based, applied settings. A practicum is a good way to explore different careers, gain relevant work experience and put conceptual knowledge to practical use.
You may choose from Field Experience in Personnel Psychology (PDF) or a Cooperative Education Internship (PDF).
An internship is required for the Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences, concentration in Personnel Psychology/Human Resource Management.

You can take advantage of their expertise not only by taking classes but also by working with faculty mentors on their research.
