PSY Summer On-line Courses, Internships, & Transfer Credits

Summer PSY General Internship 2016:
Do you have an internship or volunteer experience set up for this summer? Would you like to get credit for the experience to help you get closer to graduation and also to help you learn to network and use this position to help you find full-time employment or get into graduate school? If so, you may want to apply for the PSY General Internship for Summer 2016. Students can earn between 6 - 12 credits of PSY 382 for an approved internship. For more information, there is a brochure and application on the PSY Undergraduate website under "Get Involved". Take a look and help yourself gain experience this summer, while moving closer to graduation. HERE.
MSU Summer PSY On-line Courses:
Are you aware that there are a lot of on-line courses offered by the PSY department that can be taken anywhere that you have internet? Save the time and hassle of transferring credit from another school and just plan to add the courses through MSU and still have the comfort of living at home in the summer. Below are the courses that are available for summer 2016. It is important to also note that some of these courses are only offered in the summer so if they sound interesting, this would be a great time to take them!!! HERE.
Transfer Credit from community colleges & 4 year institutions:
If you plan to take a course at another institution this summer, please make sure that your course will transfer to MSU. Courses and Institutions that are approved can be found: HERE. Students who have less than 56 credits can take courses at a community college until their combined credit total is equal to 56 credits. Any credits taken beyond 56 will not be added to your MSU cumulative credit total. If you attend a 4 year institution, the rules are different. Transfer credit can be taken at a 4 year school beyond the 56 credits. If you are nearing the 90 credit mark, you should seek advisor approval before taking courses at a transfer institution. If you are planning to take a PSY course that is not on the transfer system (not evaluated), please complete the necessary Transfer Credit Evaluation form (for PSY courses only): HERE. |
