Internships

Internships are a great way to decide on interests, build marketability, and network. Your Internship Manager is Alison Sondrup, let her help you through the process!

There are two different internship options, psych 399 which has no required pre-requisites and can be used as elective credit for 1-3 credits, and psych 496 which is the capstone internship option and requires the pre-requisites of psych 307, 308, 309, 310, and senior status (90 credits).

Internships must be supervised by a professional in the field, include meaningful projects, be a NEW experience, be off campus, in person, and allow the student to work up to 135 hours for 3 credits.

You must be hired and registered for the internship class by the add/drop deadline of each semester.

Internship process:
1. Have ideas of what you want to do after graduation so you can connect the experience.
2. Find an internship. Search the internship database for ideas and talk to your internship manager.
3. Once you are hired complete the internship application. After it is approved you will be allowed to register. The internship application opens up with BYU's registration dates each semester.
4. Register for the internship class (online through canvas).
