For Academic Program: BS Psychology (Clinical) JUSTIFICATION for changes to BS Psychology, Clinical Emphasis: Removing Cognate: RELT 373 PSYC 426, Issues in Psychology and Religion, addresses ethical issues psychology majors would wrestle with from a perspective within the major. It is taught from the Seventh-day Adventist viewpoint by a full-time psychology faculty member. This is especially important to any who would choose to pursue graduate studies in non-faith-based programs. Since ethical issues are already being addressed, requiring RELT 373 as a cognate is no longer needed. Students may still choose to enroll in RELT 373 to meet the R4 Religion requirement, or select a different R4 course, providing them with greater flexibility. Adding Internship, 2 credit hours as an option for practical experience Adding the PSYC492, Internship in Psychology, option provides the possibility for additional practical application, exceeding clock hours required in PSYC 491, Psychology Practicum [Practicum requires 50 clock hours per semester credit, internship requires 100 clock hours per semester credit]. The internship course is required for students to earn a certificate as either a Recreation Therapist or Family Life Educator. Catalog Copy Since students are most likely to view degrees and major requirements on their phones, adding the admission requirements to the emphasis would make this important section more accessible to them. Requirements and notations in this section is not new, but simply have been relocated.

Students required to perform field or practicum experiences will accept personal responsibility for their learning and professional behavior.
