In 2016, the APA Committee on Associate and Baccalaureate Education (CABE) will give two awards to undergraduate students who produce the best interview videos with someone working in a psychology-related field.
Theme: careers in psychology with an associate or bachelor’s degree
Many psychology majors are understandably curious about what kinds of careers they can get with a degree in psychology. While some students will go on to earn a graduate degree in psychology (a master’s or a doctorate degree), many will be seeking other training or employment after earning an associate degree (AA or AAS) or a bachelor’s degree (BA or BS).
- How will you be able to apply the skills learned in your psychology classes to the working world?
- What can you do with an associate degree or a bachelor’s degree in psychology if you don’t go on to graduate school in psychology?
To shed light on these questions, we challenge you to find, interview and film someone who is working in a psychology-related field. Specifically, we want you to locate an appropriate participant, film your interview and create a YouTube video of 5 minutes or less. We will award two prizes of $500 each for the best videos — one created by a community college student and one created by a 4-year college or university undergraduate student.
Deadline: April 4, 2016. Find the award’s full page and information here: http://www.apa.org/ed/precollege/undergrad/student-video.aspx
