Clinical practicum and internship experiences are core components of the clinical training program. They are intended to provide students with opportunities to apply skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom, and to observe and participate in the day‑to‑day operation of various mental health agencies.
Students in the clinical program are required to complete 27 credit hours of practicum. Early practicum experiences will occur in the Department of Psychology Clinic. External field placements typically occur during the third and fourth years of the program. These external experiences will typically require the student to work two days at the site per week. Recent practicum sites include:
All students must complete a year-long doctoral internship in professional psychology at an approved site during the final year of the program. Our students are completing internships all over the country. Here's a list of where our students are completing their internships:
