Practicum and Internship
MS in Mental Health Counseling
Practicums and internships are completed during the second year of our programs. Details
of our experiential learning opportunities include:
- A 100-hour practicum and a 600-hour internship. These experiences occur independent
of each other with the practicum occurring prior to the internship. Hours from practicum
cannot overlap with hours accrued for internship.
- Students engage in practicum and internship experiences that are 18 to 20 hours per
week. Therefore, as standard among many other counseling programs, students are discouraged
from holding full time employment while completing their practicum and internship.
- Practicum and internship experiences are conducted in a wide variety of mental health
sites, including residential treatment facilities, inpatient psychiatric units, outpatient
clinics, therapeutic schools and more.
