Internships are an integral part of the educational experience in the Department of Psychology at the University of New England. Students are required to take at least one internship during their undergraduate experience, and most students take an advanced internship course as well for a total of six academic credits. With the guidance of the internship coordinator, students are encouraged to find sites that allow them to explore areas and skills of interest. Listed below is a descriptive sampling of some of the interesting sites that are available for internships, as well as a complete list of internships recently on file.
