Rosemead provides students with a step by step progression in professional training, giving you personal experience with a wide range of personalities in a variety of settings. This leads to a full-time internship during the fifth year of study and prepares you to interface with the secular mental health community while maintaining a Christian integrative conceptualization of practice. The Biola Counseling Center is an outpatient psychological service and training center one mile from the campus. For over 30 years it has offered a wide range of psychological services to adults and children, and has provided training opportunities for students. These opportunities take you beyond the classroom in your first year of study.
All students complete practicum training with inpatient and outpatient agencies.
You receive supervision both at training sites and on campus with Rosemead faculty, thus preparing you to interface with the secular mental health community while maintaining a Christian integrative conceptualization of practice. Located in a large metropolitan area, Rosemead enriches its training programs by using the services of a number of persons from the larger professional community in its academic and clinical programs. The 5th year internship is an intensive clinical experience. Internship agencies, rich in diversity and located around the nation and in Canada, help students integrate the varied elements of their preparation in psychology into a congruent professional role. Rosemead students are in demand and place well in the competition for internships and postdoctoral positions.
