This course provides students with supervised, discipline-relevant experiential learning in behavioral science–related settings. Through approved internships or verified work experience, students apply theoretical concepts to real-world practice while developing professional skills, ethical awareness, and career readiness. Eligible placements may include human services agencies, social service organizations, healthcare or behavioral health settings, community-based programs, educational environments, or other approved sites aligned with behavioral science outcomes. Students using current or prior employment must demonstrate that job responsibilities align with course learning objectives. Academic credit is awarded based on completion of required hours, documented learning objectives, reflective academic work, and evaluation by a site supervisor.
