Psychology Internships
Hands-On Learning
Gain real world experience while earning your degree.
From Fall 2019-Spring 2021, more than 200 of our students were involved in internships and hands-on experiences. These opportunities provide practical, real-world training to translate skills learned in class to the workforce. That’s why we strongly encourage students to pursue internships and other learning opportunities — because career success depends on it.

Camp Lloyd
Help children process their grief.
Grief is one of the most difficult emotions to experience. It can debilitate us even as adults. Having a safe space for children to experience grief and recognize their emotions as normal is crucial for healthy development. Camp Lloyd is a week-long camp for grieving children (grades 2 - 9) who have recently lost a loved one. Qualified students can be a “buddy” or student intern at Camp Lloyd, learning about grief in childhood through study and one-on-one mentoring. It's an opportunity to help kids process their emotions and cope with their loss.
