GPSI Seminar

As a means to help you integrate academic knowledge and the professional work experience, you will complete four credit hours of GPSI Seminar as a component of your GPSI placement.

You will register for one credit hour of GPSI Seminar for each fall and spring term. You must take the seminars in sequential order as they are geared for your placement term in the program. An additional benefit of the GPSI Seminar is the fact that most academic programs will allow you to count the four credit hours of seminar towards your degree requirements.
