Overview
PSYC 433 emphasizes knowledge gained through the completion of PSYC 200, PSYC 300, PSYC 405, and PHIL 333 (required prerequisites). PSYC 433 requires the preparation and execution of a research paper in career development. As such, the course operates much like the first half of a full-year thesis course. The research paper should integrate the concepts, skills, and critical analysis that comprise career development worldview.
