Internships & Research

Internship Experiences
(PSYC 395/495)

Internships are one way you can satisfy the focus experience requirement to graduate with a major in Psychology. There are a wide variety of internships available in both the Cheney and Spokane area. For each credit, you are required to volunteer for 40 hours over the quarter. Typically, this is done by volunteering four hours per week for 10 weeks. You are responsible for the initial contact with the internship site. If you are interested in internships, contact Linda Kirsch MD at lkirsch02@ewu.edu or visit her office in 141B Martin Hall to plan and enroll in a psychology internship.

Research Experiences
(PSYC 399/499)

Directed studies experiences are made available through individual faculty who run their own laboratory student groups. Students serve as research assistants to the faculty as they develop and conduct psychological research experiments and other scholarly research activities. Such opportunities provide students with chances to become co-presenters for research presentations done at conferences and co-authors for journal articles. Students may enroll in these “by permission only,” variable credit courses by contacting one of the faculty.
