Active and engaged learning experiences take place inside and outside the classroom throughout your four-year experience.
You can identify ways to participate in experiential learning at Puget Sound by visiting the Experiential Learning at Puget Sound web page. Also, you can contact your advisor for more information on these and other opportunities.
Fall 2023 Update
Majors on the AY23-24 Bulletin and beyond are required to participate in a previously-approved Psychology related experiential learning component. There are many ways to complete this requirement, but it’s important to follow the guidance below and talk with your Psychology faculty advisor before submitting your plan.
To satisfy the requirement, begin by meeting with your academic or research advisor to develop a plan. Next, submit the Experiential Requirement pre-approval form and wait for approval. Students should not begin their experience until they receive notification that their plan has been approved.
Majors electing to fulfill the Psychology Experiential Requirement with either PSYC495, PSYC496, or PSYC498 should follow the guidelines and timeline for academic work here:
Successful completion of PSYC497, EXLN295, EXLN296, EXLN298, or EXLN301 includes academic work that is approved by the Psychology Department, and therefore no additional work must be submitted to the Department.
