PSYC446 Applied Psychology Capstone
A capstone is by its very nature is the culminating learning experience in a degree program. This course completes the career advancement thread of the program, providing an overview of the occupations, roles and fields where students can practice what they have learned. It provides an opportunity for each student to reflect on all of the coursework they have completed and articulate what they have learned about human behavior—their own and others’—in the workplace of today. Students begin to map a career path and plan for how they will practice psychology in a chosen profession. An integrating project provides the opportunity for students to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and values they’ve gathered and to apply these to a real life challenge they select. Students will interview practitioners as both a means of gathering information and professional networking. Students build a plan for how to develop their professional identity and "brand" telling their story to a prospective employer, articulating the value of that this degree in understanding human behavior in the workplace brings to an organization. Students share their own personal leadership creed and reflect on the ethical challenges they face as they chart the next steps on their career and lifelong learning journey.
