Clinical Training

Graduate students begin clinical training during their first year in the program through a clinical training seminar.

Students begin seeing clients under supervision during the second year.

The third year practicum is completed at a local community agency.

Most students continue their clinical training during their fourth year through individualized practice settings (externships).

The graduate program culminates in a year-long clinical internship, in which students continue their training while providing psychological services (under supervision) as a full-time staff member in a particular setting.
