- Students will intern approximately 32-40 hours per week at their program site and will be able to apply for transcript notation through the UC Davis Career Center. May be repeated up to 12 unit(s).
- Psychology (PSC) 198. Directed Group Study: Psychology Internship Reflection (2 units, Pass/No Pass grading only)
- This 2-unit course is intended as a forum to connect the work students do at their internship to its broader social and cultural context. Through online discussions and assignments, students will have a community with whom to share they reflections and observations about their internship placements and to explore the significance of interning in an international context. Students are often asked to write reflective pieces. Assignments topic vary by program.

Along with the general eligibility requirements, Study Abroad will require the completion of the following prerequisites. For non-UC Davis students, the equivalent at your campus:
