Internship Program Admissions

Briefly describe in narrative form important information to assist potential applicants in assessing their likely fit with your program. This description must be consistent with the program’s policies on intern selection and practicum and academic preparation requirements:

 Our mission is to provide quality training that will prepare interns to successfully transition from graduate students to practicing psychologists. We utilize a scholar-practitioner model, which emphasizes the use of scholarly and research literature to inform case conceptualization, and integrate evidence-based treatment literature with treatment planning and intervention. Internship and its associated growth are viewed through a developmental lens, and we assist interns as they grow in their professional development, reflect on their use of self, and continue to increase their multicultural competence.

Our intern selection is based upon goodness of fit, thus we welcome applications from students seeking counseling center training experience. We look for interns whose interests and goals are consistent with our training philosophy and the experiences we can provide. We do not require prior practicum experience specifically in a university counseling center but applicants should have experience working with adults in an outpatient setting.
