NOTES:
Students who will be teaching must register for and take Psy 895, Practicum in the Teaching of Psychology. Contact Dr. Malcarne for the suppressed schedule number and to check on the number of units. This is a tuition issue, and is unrelated to the number of supervised hours or the work required.
¶All second year students’ practicum will be at the SDSU Psychology Clinic. Students should register in the section of their 9-11am supervisor.
§All second year students’ practicum will be at SDSU. After the second year, although a student’s practicum placement may be at UCSD, students must register for at least 1.0 unit (although most typically register for 3 units) of PSY 896 under Dr. Taylor at SDSU until the internship year. This is a malpractice coverage issue for the program and the universities. The number of units registered for is a tuition issue and has no bearing on the number of hours required at each placement.
‡These courses may NOT be offered every year. Students should check with the Program Coordinator in Spring of their second year for the next year’s schedule.
†All students on internship must register for classes while they are on internship
