PSY 482 - Gerontology Internship II


Permission of Internship Director required. A practical guided learning experience that engages students actively and directly with a professional experience in the fields of gerontology and/or geriatrics to connect experiential learning with academic study. Incorporates psychological and gerontological theory, research, and practice into application in a gerontological/geriatric setting. Provides students with the opportunity to explore career options and to become familiar with professional practice while enhancing the student’s knowledge, skills and interests. In addition to the on-site activities, students take steps to customize and craft the internship experience, complete reflective activities and connect their experiential learning with their academics via course assignments. Performance evaluation assessment of the internship and self-assessment of learning occur at the end of the semester. Students can apply for pre-existing internships or consult with the Gerontology Program Director as well as the Director of Internships to discuss a new internship site. Application and program approval are required prior to course selection. All College policies related to internships apply. This course is reserved for students who have completed PSY 481 and cannot occur at the same site as PSY 481; only S/U grading. This internship requires completion of a series of online, asynchronous Modules that provide video instruction and guidance, promote reflection, deepen on-site engagement, and use discussion forums to facilitate peer-to-peer interactions. Prereq: 15 hours and a GPA of 3.0 in Psychology courses. This course is reserved for students who have completed PSY 481.
