The Collaborative Research Project will be completed under the supervision of a member of the Educational Psychology faculty or another individual approved by the Counseling Psychology Executive Committee. Other options which appear to satisfy the spirit of the requirement will be considered on an individual basis. It is each student's responsibility to contract with a willing member of the faculty to supervise the collaborative research project and to gain approval of the project from the Counseling Psychology Executive Committee. Students must complete a minimum of three semesters of practicum, although, generally, to be competitive for an APA-approved internship, students need more than three.
All placements are in agency settings with on-site supervision.
The Program faculty and students are currently seeking to develop innovative community psychology or preventive mental health practicum training experiences. Typically, students are ready for internship by their fifth or sixth year in the Program. Settings include college counseling centers, VA hospitals, medical centers, and private hospitals and clinics. Internship is usually the final step in the doctoral program. Individually-tailored internship placements are sometimes available.
