Our 1-credit career courses, EDCP108i and PSYC123, are open for students to register in fall 2026.
A
reminder that EDCP108i is focused on students seeking that first
internship experience. PSYC123 is a little more general with career
development topics. Both require students to engage in a one-on-one
resume review and mock interview in two separate experiences.
EDCP108i
EDCP 108i: Academic Transitions to Internships is
a 7-week (half-semester) course recommended for students who have never
had an internship and are actively searching for one. The one-credit,
online asynchronous course takes students through key exploratory and
preparation activities, including:
- Understanding the components of an internship
- Increasing knowledge about an intended career field
- Developing a resume and cover letter
- Identifying potential internship sites
- Introducing students to interviewing and networking skills
Through
this course, students will be provided the full experience of searching
for an internship. Students will also have opportunities for
synchronous activities with the instructor and career professionals
through mock interviews, resume reviews, and group meetings. **Please
note this course is only for students who have less than 105 cumulative
credits.
PSYC123
PSYC 123: The Psychology of Getting Hired
introduces students to the science behind the hiring process and how
you can apply with a competitive edge. The one-credit, online
asynchronous course paces students through through six modules including
activities intended to:
- Identify strengths, interest and professional development goals
- Learn how to use Handshake to location internships and professional positions
- Develop a high-quality professional resume
- Establish an effective professional social media presence and network
- Practice and refine crucial interview skills
- Create a career development plan
Two
significant activities - a resume review with University Career Center
staff, employer, or alumnus and a mock interview with volunteer
professionals - occur live through Zoom.
