PROGRAM:
The Center for Counseling, Learning and Testing (CCLT) offers several practicum opportunities
for graduate students in both the counseling and the psychology fields.
Practicum opportunities are available in all CSD departments:
Career Counseling, Educational Support, Psychological Counseling, and
Psychological Counseling with Testing.
PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS: The philosophy of the Practicum Program is that
counseling and psychology graduate students should be trained as generalists to
function in a wide variety of settings with a diverse population and with
student clients who present with an assortment of needs and concerns. The
primary goal of the Practicum Program is to provide a unique training
opportunity in academic, career, or psychological counseling, or educational
support. The training builds on the practicum student's existing skills and
prepares him/her for the next step in his/her chosen career.
DESCRIPTION:
Each of the practicum opportunities offers supervised practicum-level generalist
training in one unit for one semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer). Practicums
typically require 150 hours on site. Practicum students are trained to
perform duties in the unit in which they are completing their practicum and also
to gain a knowledge of, and experience in, the operations of a comprehensive
university counseling center.
APPLICATION
INFORMATION: Practicum applications are available in 214 Wilder Tower, or on
request from the Practicum Coordinator. Qualified applicants are screened and
interviewed by unit directors. Deadlines for applications are June 1 for the
Fall, September 1 for the Spring and January 1 for the Summer Semesters.
We welcome your interest in our practicum program. Please let me know if I can
