Special Studies in Psychology
Course Description
This program affords an opportunity for the advanced psychology student
to pursue supervised projects of his or her own choosing beyond the regular
course offerings. The project may take on one of three forms: 1) the
scholarly treatment of a particular topic using the library; 2) laboratory
research; 3) a field placement combining study and an appropriate work
experience with an organization or a professional person. All three project
types can be done in various combinations, on or off campus.
Prerequisites: To be eligible for the course the student must have a faculty
sponsor, a specific topic in mind, a reasonable background in related course
work, good independent study habits, initiative and high motivation. If
the project is data-collecting research, prerequisites are Psychology 200
and 390. Special Studies credit requires departmental approval of a formal
proposal to be submitted prior to registration. The number of credits and
whether the course is taken for a grade or on a pass-fail basis are subject
to departmental approval. The course may be repeated but no more than four
hours of credit in this course may be applied to the psychology minor requirement
of 18 credits.
Credits: To be arranged.
