Prior participants speak for themselves!
Applying psychology is very different from learning it in the classroom. I learned things from hands-on experience that I gained at NECC that I would not have had the chance to learn otherwise.
...Although Hamilton offers hands-on learning in labs and field trips, I felt I never had the opportunity while on campus to be immersed. I loved learning while on my feet and contributing to a greater cause.
I think that the NECC Coop Program is a really great part of what Hamilton has to offer its students. I strongly recommend offering more internships of this type in the future that target different fields of psychology as this experience not only expands an undergraduate's knowledge, but truly helps when looking for a career or entrance into graduate school.
THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!
