Through internships and independent study, students not only apply the theory they've learned in the classroom but they also gain practical experience that is invaluable for their future careers.

For independent studies, use the Psychology Department Independent Study form.  Psychology department requires you to submit this form prior to the first day of classes during the semester when the independent study will take place. 

For internships, use the Humanities & Sciences Internship Form.

Deadlines for Submission:  
The deadline for submission of the Independent Study and Internship Learning contracts form is prior to the first day of classes during the semester. The expectation is that all independent studies and internships are approved no later than the first day of the Add/Drop period.
