Field  Study  

Teaching  College  Psychology  

*  Students  help  plan  and  execute  Psych  1,  Intro  to  Psychology,  under  the  guidance  of  faculty  and  graduate  students.      

*  They  are  responsible  for  running  a  sec<on,  a=ending  a  weekly  mee<ng  regarding  teaching  techniques/course  material,  and  a=ending  all  lectures.  

 

What  is  Field  Study?  

 Psychology  Field  Study  is  an  academic  internship  

program  offered  to  psychology  majors  to  integrate  current  and  prior  coursework  with  community  

involvement.  For  a  minimum  of  two  quarters,  students  devote  ten  hours  a  week  to  a  community  based  

internship.  

Research    

Research  allows  you  to  work  as  an  undergraduate  research  assistant  in  current  faculty  research  projects.  This  is  an  excellent  opportunity  to  develop  your  research  skills  and  to  work  with  faculty  personally.    

Senior  Thesis  

Senior  thesis  gives  you  an  opportunity  to  directly  work  with  a  faculty  member  and/or  graduate  student  and  conduct  your  own  research  like  a  first  year  graduate  

student.      

A  great  way  to  prepare  yourself  for  what  you  will  be  doing  in  graduate  school  and  a  possibility  of  getting  

your  research  published!!
