PSYCH 484 Field Placement in Child and Adolescent Development

3 - 6 Credit(s)

This is a field placement course with two complementary components: (a) students complete a field placement working with children or adolescents in a naturalistic setting (e.g., youth program, camp, school), and (b) students participate in a seminar focused on theory and research from clinical, community, and developmental psychology that is relevant to their field placement. Content and assignments create opportunities for students to reflect on their fieldwork experiences and to make connections between the theory, research, and skills covered in the seminar and their direct experiences in the field placement.
