Professional Development in Psychology is an exciting course designed to expose you to diverse career opportunities and prepare you for life after graduation. In this course you will reflect on and further develop the skills you gained in general education courses and apply them to your major by exploring real-world opportunities relevant to psychology. You will identify your overall skill set, engage in several networking events with guest speakers, and create a professional portfolio. You will review empirical literature regarding real world problems relevant to psychology majors and connect these events with potential career options.
Open to juniors and seniors whose primary major is Psychology. When taken in combination with a Psych 391* seminar this course will satisfy the Integrative Experience Requirement for Psychology majors. 494PI and 391* seminar do not need to be taken in the same semester.
