1. Independent Study. Psych 201 (Independent Study, 3 credits) - This course requires that you dedicate 8 hours per week over the course of the semester at PRIDE and write a short paper about your experiences.

Psych 395 (Independent Research) - Spend a second semester with us during which you dedicate 8 hours per week over the course of the semester at PRIDE and write a longer paper based on data with which you worked. This is for students who have already completed a semester of Psych 201 with CHEST. Click here to read the syllabus |
3. Honor Thesis. Psych 396/398 (Honors Thesis) - Students can enroll in this course in order to graduate with departmental honors. There are, however, specific requirements in terms of grade point average for students to take this course (check with the Hunter Psychology Department). The requirements for this course involve the conceptualization of research questions, a full literature review, data analyses, and the completion of a full thesis. Students spend two semesters working on this. Click here to read the Syllabus 4. Masters Thesis. Psych 707 Click here to read the Syllabus 5. Masters Independent Research. Psych 690 Click here to read the Syllabus |
For prospective or current interns interested in registering for courses 395, 396/398 (honors thesis): Please note that acceptance into this internship program is the first step in being able to register for internship or thesis credit via one of these courses with one of our Hunter faculty. However, acceptance into the internship program _does not guarantee_ a placement with a faculty member for any of these courses. Enrollment in these courses will depend on whether faculty have the capacity to take on a student during any given semester and on a match in research interests, so students are encouraged to contact faculty shortly after acceptance into the internship program to assess the potential for sponsorship in any of these courses. Further, students who wish to do a thesis are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester in our internship (which can be done with 201 or 395) before they plan to register for 396 and 398 (i.e., at least one full year before anticipated date of graduation).

If you are a Hunter Student (but your major/minor is not in Psychology), or are with a different CUNY school, you may still be eligible to register for an Internship via your department. Contact your department to see if they offer "Independent Study" or "Internship" Credits. You will register within your department, however, your time will be spent here at PRIDE.
