Internships

Psychology internships give you the opportunity to gain field experiences in mental health clinics, social service agencies, educational institutions, and the business world. Internships are considered advanced experiences in the Psychology major, and must build on a coursework foundation.

Through internship experiences, you have the opportunity to:

  • Deepen your learning by complementing your theoretical knowledge with experiential education.
  • Reach beyond the university to provide service to persons in a variety of conditions and settings.
  • Gain insights into psychology both as a profession and as a calling.
  • Understand the relationship of your own goals, desires, and skills to career paths in psychology and related fields.

Meykia-Monique Smith’s Story

“I wanted to work with war veterans after getting to know one of my co-workers who was a former Marine. Learning about his struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder and how it affected his relationships motivated me to volunteer for Veterans Affairs and ultimately led me to pursue a career in psychology.”

Why I Teach at SPU

Marcia Webb, Associate Professor of Psychology

“I teach at SPU because I recognize that knowledge is power. Ideas shape our lives. While some ideas may justify ignorance and injustice, others serve as the foundation of innovation, transformation, and reconciliation. Liberal arts education exposes students to the wisdom of the ages at the same time that it challenges students with the most advanced of contemporary academic theory and practice. Young adults empowered through a liberal arts education are better equipped to assume the responsibilities of the future world. They are better prepared to assume the leadership that will ultimately be required of them as adults in our society.”
