Earn Course Credit for an Internship

You can earn course credit for an internship that you find by enrolling in Q398 - offered through the College of Arts & Sciences and administered by the Career Development Center.

Why should you complete an internship? What internships are available to psychology and neuroscience majors? How can you find an internship that's right for you?

To earn credit, an internship must:

  • Be supervised. This means that you must be based in an office and meet with your supervisor in person at least once a week to discuss your progress, challenges, etc.
  • Last at least 9 weeks.
  • Have a training component. You must learn during your internship, not just do busy work.
  • Focus on a particular project. You must be responsible for starting and finishing an entire project.
  • Further your understanding of a career field or build on coursework you've taken.
  • Increase your employability in your field of interest.
Students must submit an online application form for Q398, a learning contract, and job description by the following deadlines:
  • Fall semester: October 1
  • Spring semester: February 1
  • Summer semester: June 1

Learn about Q398, email questions, or submit an online application here.

We encourage to you to talk with your instructors and a Psychology & Neuroscience Advisor about any internship opportunity for which you are hoping to earn course credit before you submit an application to the Career Development Center.
