Career Development Courses

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences offers:

P199 Planning Your Psychology Career (1-cr) is required for all psychology majors. We encourage you to enroll in your sophomore year! Goals: Independently explore careers of interest to you, practice job search skills like networking and informational interviews; research internship experiences, write a professional resume, and plan for graduate school if that is in your future.
P299 Sophomore Honors Seminar (3-cr) is for high-achieving students who are planning to attend graduate school and/or enter a career in research. Faculty presentations will help students find a place in a laboratory assisting in research, in preparation for earning an Honors Degree. The course counts as the major careers course (in the place of P199); counts for Intensive Writing credit, and for the Hutton Honor's College. Registration is by permission, applications are available in the advising office.
P457 Taking Psychology to Business explores the many connections between psychological science and business. Taking Psychology to Business is a complement to P199, but it will not satisfy the departmental career class requirement.

The Career Development Center and Arts & Sciences Career Services offers:

Q294 - Basic Career Development is designed for first- and second-year students who are choosing a major or exploring career fields.
Q299 - Job and Internship Search Strategies for Liberal Arts Students covers the fundamentals of the job search, including resumes, cover letters, and interviews.
Q275 - Building Your Professional Portfolio teaches students how to create a professional portfolio and market their skills.
Q377 - The Art of Meaningful Work is for juniors and seniors who are beginning to think about life after college, and for whom finding meaningful work is of the utmost importance.

Kelley School of Business Undergraduate Career Services offers two career development courses. If you register for either course you will have access to UCS resources. If you are planning on a career in business - and especially if you are working toward a business degree or certificate as an IU undergraduate - you may find these courses very useful.

X220 - Career Perspectives Class is a two-credit hour course recommended for sophomores designed to help students develop skills and personal qualities and to become familiar with the various majors and career paths available to students.
X420 - Business Career Planning and Placement Class is a two-credit hour course recommended for second-semester juniors or first-semester seniors designed to help students in interview preparation and the job search as they seek full-time employment.
