Techniques for Assessment
The student will be assessed both directly and indirectly. Students are to maintain a year-by-year portfolio of exemplars of their work. In the senior year, the portfolio will be reviewed by at least 2 Behavioral and Social Sciences faculty.
We recommend students also take specialty courses for their career path, such as the MHRT/C courses, or a minor.
Required experiential work
Students will be expected to work within the campus and local communities each year. The extra-mural service learning experiences will be part of the senior evaluation, and constitute the citizenship and social responsibility requirements of the general education core.
We recommend at least 4 credits internship, such as PSY 397 Community Behavioral Health Internship.
Required Advisor
Each student in the Behavioral Sciences or Social Sciences, within the first year of attending UMFK, shall select an advisor from among the full-time faculty in the Behavioral and Social Sciences. The advisor will guide the career and professional choices of the student.
