Despite the multiple benefits of the careers in psychology course, it is not universally offered in undergraduate programs. Teachers who wish to design such a course may wonder about its typical number of credits, when students should take the course, and how much it uses a common curriculum across sections. The 2018 Undergraduate Study in Psychology gathered data on these questions in a nationally representative sample of undergraduate programs at associate (n = 60) and baccalaureate (n = 180) institutions. In 2017–2018, 39% of baccalaureate programs and 12% of associate programs offered the course. Discussion centers on department-specific adaptations of the career course, its curricular alternatives, and future research. The authors also issue a call for action to more widely implement the career course nationally.

职业心理学课程：流行、结构和时间

尽管心理学课程的职业有多种好处，但它并未在本科课程中普遍提供。希望设计这样一门课程的教师可能想知道其典型的学分数量、学生应该何时参加该课程以及它在各个部分使用了多少通用课程。2018 年心理学本科研究在全国代表性的副学士 (n = 60) 和学士学位 (n = 180) 机构的本科课程样本中收集了有关这些问题的数据。2017-2018 年，39% 的学士学位课程和 12% 的副学士课程提供该课程。讨论集中在职业课程的部门特定调整、课程选择和未来研究上。作者还呼吁采取行动，在全国范围内更广泛地实施职业课程。
