I wonder what the practicum would entail ?

My guess is it's similar to a bachelor's level social work practicum. You're working in some sort of human services setting, shadowing other clinical staff, doing simple intakes, that sort of thing.

I don't think I've ever seen an undergraduate psychology degree with a practicum requirement before.  This would make sense if (like the BSW) there were employment opportunities working with clients that the degree prepared you for. But as far as I know, there aren't a lot of opportunities for people with a bachelor's in psychology to actually work with clients.  
I'd be interested in understanding the reasoning behind the practicum.
Thanks for the response. Is this a degree requirement or an elective ? Seems like I read somewhere on this forum that it’s not. If it’s required than It sounds like this degree may not be practical for working adults who have full time jobs.
