Information and Instructions
In order to begin the internship process,
you should meet the following prerequisites:
--the completion of three upper-level courses
in psychology at CSUF
--a 2.0 GPA.
All sections of 495 entail class meetings and a
120 hour experience at a site that uses psychological
theories or methods. For example, acceptable
internship sites might involve education, development,
research, informal counseling, hospitals that service
psychological clients, social services, clinics,
business (industrial/organizational psychology) and
community outreach programs.
All sections of 495 accommodate students
who have a site with any type of psychological content (e.g.
education, aging, research). Sites must utilize
general, business or clinical psychology orientations.
Clinical placements should not involve 1:1 therapy.
Observation and group work is acceptable at group
homes, psychiatric hospitals, and counseling sites. Sites
must use psychological methods or theories to be
viable.
Register for Psych 495 as soon as possible after your window opens
because classes fill quickly. Four to six
weeks before the 495 class begins contact
an internship site and arrange for your placement. DO NOT WAIT
UNTIL CLASS BEGINS TO FIND A SITE.
If you have any questions about this course, please contact
your Psyc 495 Instructor, or the
