Human Services Track
The purpose of this track is to prepare students for careers in human services. Students completing this track are not licensed (check the handouts available in the Psychology Department, or this link to careers in psychology written by Dr. Margaret Lloyd at Psychwww.com.) Those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology or a career in medicine are advised to follow either the natural science or the social science track.
The human services track differs from the other tracks because human services students are required to take:
- One A-group course, not two
- Three "human services" psychology courses
- An internship course as their capstone course:
- PSYC 390. Internship in Human Services or
- PSYC 392. Internship in Applied Psychology
- Three ancillary courses in the social sciences, not in the natural sciences
Otherwise, the requirements for the B.S. in Psychology are the same.
