INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Get hands-on experience in your field, get paid and potentially earn credits toward your degree.
Available for International students!
Open to all students in a psychology/human neuroscience related field.
Internships serve as a critical experience for students to apply their in classroom learning to a real world experience. Human neuroscience students who participate in a structured internship program may be eligible to receive credit through the College of Arts and Sciences. Available to graduate students, gaining credit helps to provide structure to ensure that students leave their internship with relevant, meaningful experience. Students registered in these courses do not pay full tuition; they keep their student status and benefits.
