Internships

All clinical students are required by The American Psychological Association to complete a year long intensive clinical intrenship experience. Most students elect to do this in their fifth or sixth year of the program after completion of their coursework. All students must have faculty approval to apply for internship and must have a completed faculty approved dissertation proposal before they will be considered for eligiblity to apply for internship.

Students complete standardized application forms as well as any supplemental materials for the particular internships to which they are applying. Each internship site specifies its own deadlines, most of which occur in October.

The internship matching process is regulated by The Association of Psychology Post-doctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC). Information on internship sites, their requirements, the matching process, downloadable forms, match registration information, and email list information can all be found at their website http://www.appic.org.

Note: Students must register for the internship match by December 1st. You must also complete 3 credit hours of PSY 840: Internship. You should sign up for these hours prior to going on internship while you still have a tuition/fee waiver. Most students do this in the summer prior to internship. You will not have a tuition/fee waiver while on internship, (though you will be eligible for student loan deferrment) so if you fail to sign up for 840 in advance, you end up paying full tuition and fees out of your own pocket.

Our students have done very well in the competive match process.

Internship Match Statistics for the past 7 years

The range of internship agencies where our students have gone is also quite extensive from medical centers, medical and psychiatric hospitals, VA medical centers, counseling centers, community mental health centers, and clinical research centers.
