Resource Library
In addition to the Career
Services office, the Psychology Department
has a number of resources (more details below) for students interested in doing internships
or those
interested
in
pursuing
graduate studies in psychology. We have created a small Psychology
Resource Library to keep this information. The library is located
on the second floor of Watson Life Sciences Building in the waiting
room outside of room WAT 201. These resources must stay in the
library, but students may use them Monday-Friday (8:30am - 5pm).
Please contact the departmental assistant, Mrs.
Duncan ( x2445),
if you are interested in looking through these materials.
Internships
Students
from our department have done a number of different internships in
the Charlotte area (and some outside the area). Some of these
internships have been for credit as a practicum (PSY 290).
Below you will find a list of some places
students have worked. More information is available in the
Psychology Resource Library (see Mrs. Duncan).

applying to graduate school, check out Dr. Barton's PowerPoint
